Because I can never get on with firefox unless I get really lucky. So I decided to try IE to see if it would be any different and here I am.

thats realy wierd i been using firefox the last few years and well no problems here.

hope u find out whats the problem or something that works for u my friend.

freepizza, you must be a Microsoft plant! Whatsa matter? Getting worried that the superior non-Microsoft browsers are going to supplant your precious IE?! No one has ever had a problem with Firefox doing anything. It is flawless. So you must be lying and trying to defame Mozilla with your baseless slander!!!!!!!!11


Mr. Dodo, release the hounds.

I use Firefox and haven't had any problems.

I use Firefox exclusively. No problems logging in here.

Over at the TheZorkLibrary, I sometimes have problems logging in, but not because of the browser. It has something to do with the internet routing. To get from place-to-place, you generally have to bounce between several servers. Occasionally, one of the servers along the way gives me trouble and I have to go via an alternate route.

The host for TheZorkLibrary told me that he has had many problems with routing through ComCast (which is what I usually use.) It may be that one of the servers between you and the TM message board is a MicroSoft server and it has some deliberate protocall differences with Firefox.

MicroSoft has done this sort of thing with Java, by making their Java intentionally incompatible with *real* Java - forcing people to use theirs.

For the most part, I have no problems logging into anywhere with Mozilla Firefox, including here.

No it isn't.

Okay, well I really dont know what the problem is. I had been trying to log in every day for two weeks and I hadnt been able to get on. But it seems to be working now. Who knows :s

Maybe your cache/cookies is buggy? Try going to Tools > Options > Privacy and clearing all your data... like cookies/history etc.
Or just reinstall Firefox... making sure to remember any extensions you installed and exporting your bookmarks first.

...or starting Firefox 'safe mode' and resetting the options there.
