Trouble logging in

[Bipolarcy]

For about a month now (about the last Firefox update) I can't log into this site from Firefox. I am apparently logged out AGAIN on that browser despite clicking the box that says keep me logged in. I've always been able to log back in. But now when I go to Firefox, which is my go-to browser, there is no log-in option. There's just nothing there. And the result is, I can't respond to any posts, which is probably a blessing to some of you.

I have to go to Chrome, which I have never liked, where I find the log-in option. Is there a solution to this?

Your problem is another reason why everyone should have at least two browsers installed on their computer. I assume you use Windows 10, which I do not, so I will not attempt to tell you how to roll back the last Firefox update.

I also use the latest version of Firefox and have not had any issues. To clarify, are you describing two separate problems - 1) being logged out of CF even though you haven't logged yourself out, and 2) that there is no log-in option available to you any longer?

Nope, I have a Mac at home.

There are two separate problems. It kept logging me out for months, but the latest problem, not being able to log back in, has just started.

When I came to this website this morning, using Firefox, I saw I had two alerts and I was able to click on them and view the alerts, but when I went to respond to your post, there was no place to type the message after I clicked reply. I guess I thought that was why I was logged out, but apparently, that's not the problem if I can look at my alerts. I just can't reply to anything in Firefox. There's just a bold "Reply to this thread," that looks sort of like a headline, but no space to type anything. Then there's a button below that that says "reply to this thread" but that's just the button to post your reply. There's also a preview button to preview before posting, and then there's two boxes to click, watch this thread and receive email notifications. Again, no place to write anything.

And I see now when I go into my account, there's a place that says log out. So I'm apparently logged in, just unable to reply to any posts.

I'm on Windows so I'm not familiar with Firefox troubleshooting on a Mac. But assuming it's reasonably similar I would just start with the usual troubleshooting steps. Disable all the add-ons you're using and see if you still have the same problem, then turn them back on one-by-one until you isolate the problem add-on. Turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection on the left side of the address bar. Try restarting Firefox in safe mode.

My guess is that it's an add-on or some of Firefox's tracking protections that are causing this. I had to disable Enhanced Tracking Protection in order to see tweets or Facebook posts that people post here.

Not sure how tech-savvy you are so perhaps you've done all those things.

Not the same as you, but every once in a while I’ll log in and it won’t “take,” and I’ll have to re-login.

Doesn’t happen every time, but still a little buggy
