I cannot use my preferred browser for this site, as it refuses to let me log in properly (logging in goes OK, except that at the end I'm still not logged in... ). In fact, this is the only site for which I still have to use explorer.

I have exactly the same problem...

I use Firefox and I've been unable to log in successfully...

Everytime I log in it works fine, but then when I get returned to the forum I'm still not logged in...

Strange...

It's not a problem that's replicated at any other forums...

I can't really explain it with any more clarity or understanding of what's wrong... Here's an image of it...

Firefox is working fine for me to. Could it have something to do with the firewall settings? I remember at one stage not being able to access something using firefox and it had something to do with the firewall blocking everything until I changed the settings so that it would accepts cookies from the selected sites.

Bilden “http://www.famispo.com/firefox/imgs/news_fox.gif” kan inte visas, då den innehåller fel. Better than the alternative

I allow cookies, and in fact this is the only site of the many that I visit regularly that fails to log me on automatically, and then refuses to do so manually (just like Verisimilitude posted)

These are a few errors Firefox reports in the Javascript console:

Warning: Element referenced by ID/NAME in the global scope. Use W3C standard document.getElementById() instead.

Apparently the site is not 100% written in W3C web standards. That's all i can make of it (am not that knowledgeable).

I see in the computer press that several security holes have now been found in Firefox and hackers are starting to target it now that the user base is increasing. It sounds like it's not the silver bullet everyone was making it out to be last year.

To any Firefox users out there: Avoiding hype, please, are there any *big* benefits over IE? I personally never have trouble using IE and would need a very good reason for switching, especially if it causes problems browsing PA.

Every update to IE over the last year or so is a copy of something Firefox implemented months before , Firefox is also more standards-compliant (which does mean sites that aren't compliant don't always show properly) and I've had no spyware issues since switching.

Firefox (Gecko) has some serious problems with sites that heavily rely on CSS for formatting. I hope they will finally get it right with yet another rewrite of the rendering engine. Other browsers (not just IE, but also Opera) don't have any problems with these things, and they ARE conforming with the standards ...

I might have been trying to apply something not really relevant then. But IE does (or certainly did around version 5) include lots of stuff that isn't part of the standards, people then write websites to be seen in IE and it messes up in other browsers. I think Netscape did the same.

 

Incidentally, using IE Mariah Carey seems to be following me around

The benefits to me are - the ability to have multiple tabs open (how long before Microsoft copy that one?), the Bookmark Manager, higher security (at the moment) and it's not Microsoft.

Current version of firefox is 1.0.6. If you are using firefox you should be running this version. Firefox may already be telling you to download the newest patch. Look for a red arrow underneath the google quick link top right.

[edit] Cookies must be enabled- but I see some have already discussed this. Windows XP has its own built in firewall that may be tampering with this (or any other firewall you may have installed such as symantec)
