dhanna Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 I recently installed Firefox 1.0. Both my wife and I have accounts here. Today I tried to log out so that I could log back in as her and when I click the logout link from the reporting page (http://www.spamcop.net/) It refreshes like it has done something, but it does not log me out. I ended up having to run IE to report her spam. Maybe it is a setting in Firefox, but I have looked and have not been able to determine the cause. The logout link works in IE, but not in this version of Firefox. I even closed and re-opened Firefox after clicking the link several times. Any suggestions?
Wazoo Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 The login/logout issue deals with cookies ... I was a bit surprised at the default settings on FireFox 1.0 .. but you may want to take a close look at the cookie handling options.
dhanna Posted November 11, 2004 Author Posted November 11, 2004 Ok, when I switched to Firefox I let Firefox import all my cookies, settings, bookmarks and such from IE. The cookie was set by IE and was not letting me log out. I have resolved this issue by clearing all cookies and then logging back in using FireFox. Now when I click on logout, it works. Users who switch may need to keep this issue in mind.
Wazoo Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 Tricks galore! Good work and thanks for the feedback / solution.
Jeff G. Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 For other people considering migration from IE to FireFox, I'd suggest logging out in IE first.
