whoa there pickle · Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2009 9:34 am Post subject: Using Firefox

I have recently started using Firefox as my internet browser but for some reason I cannot use this forum in it, I can get the site up and read posts but it won't let me stayed logged on. As soon as I log on it logs me out.

Does anyone else have this problem at all or know how to solve it? I find I am having to use Internet Explorer just for this site. Related to this I am now finding it difficult to read the site on my G1 Android phone which again doesn't use Internet Explorer.

I know technically this isn't a new feature etc but this seemed the best place for this post!

Not really much help, but use FF with no probs at all. I am logged in all the time on my laptop and can read and post. Could it be something to do with settings on your computer?

I have firefox o y school laptop and on our home computer. No problems at all with home computer. But school one does not allow me to stay logged in for ever, it generally logs me out at the end of the day. I figured it was something to do with the settings, though I belong to another forum and am able to be permanently logged in there.
Hope you get it sorted.

(Have had probs in the past with ff when doing internet Tesco shop, OK now)

Hmm sorry to hear this pickle, I use firefox and don't have any problems at all. Occasionally it logs out and goes back to original screen and such but nothing that two clicks doesn't sort.

Sorry to hear your having probs. Perhaps somebody more computer minded may be able to shed some light on any probs.

I use firefox and have never had to log in after the first time I did it. When you type in your details a little bar should appear at the top of the browser asking you if you want it to remember your password - have you clicked this?

Yep! I don't understand it, for everything else it remains logged in and I use some other forums just like this one!
