[resolved] Can't log in using Firefox (4 posts)

    I am having the exact issue described in this thread:

    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/149044

    Firefox is *not* blocking cookies, and it's not temporary because I've been trying to log in (in Firefox) for four days now. Firefox is the only browser I have had success performing all normal WP functions with – posting, editing theme, etc. – and now I can't log in to my hosted blog using it.

    Opera forces a reboot when I try to upload a header, Safari simply will not allow me to navigate Presentation and apparently does not support <p> breaks, and now this. I don't think it would be melodramatic to say that this is making me strongly consider switching platforms.

    RESOLVED!

    After days of racking my brain for a solution, it comes to me within seconds of posting in the Support forum. To fix this error, go to Firefox Preferences > Security > Choose What Warning Messages to Show, then choose to show all warning messages. Try to log in again, and when the warning message appears (it wasn't before), just click Continue.

    I'm having the exact same issue. However, your solution did not resolve this issue for me.

    Must be some weird cookie issue with Firefox. My WordPress was working fine until I upgraded to 2.5.1 but then I started having this problem.

    It seems to work fine if I use:
    http://mywebsite.com/wp-login

    as opposed to:
    http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-login

    Strange but it works.
