   Hi,

   I have a self hosted blog using WP 2.5.1 and the WordPress.com stats plugin v1.2.2 installed. On the blog dashboard there is a Stats panel with a login for WordPress.com. This used to work fine with Fx2 and still does with IE6 (I don't know about IE7) but it doesn't work properly for me with Fx3. If I put in my account name and the correct password then it flickers and goes straight back to the login panel with no error message. The same is true if I click the "See All" button for full screen and try from there. I am not blocking cookies as suggested in another post. As I said, it works just fine from IE6. Can any one suggest what might be wrong?

   I would like to know the outcome of this, as I am having the same problem with FireFox 3. My stats plug-in no longer allows me to log in via my blog's dashboard in FF3.

   However, when I log into my admin area of my blog in Safari, I am able to log into my stats plug-in on the dashboard. The stats display fine in Safari.

   Any ideas why I am unable to log into the WordPress.com stats plug-in 1.2.2?

   Thanks!

   Solved - at long last.

   The problem is that the worpress.co sets a cookie which is third party to your dashboard so if you have blocked them in FF3 then it will fail.

   Solution - go to FF Tools -> options. Privacy tab, Cookies section and click exceptions. Add dashboard.wordpress.com to the allow list and all will be fine.
