Login cookie problem finally solved?

FF has always behaved like that for me – I have only suffered from the cookie problem very very occasionally. It seemed to behave differently for different people for some very obscure reasons.

I’m no longer seeing the problem in Firefox on Win10, although I have to be unlucky for it to happen. My usual route has (almost) always via the Home page to Login before going to the Forum. It’s only on a few occasions when I forgot and tried to log in from the Forum page that it used to fail. I leave the PC running 24/7 and I’m always logged out by morning – either a session timeout or some site/server maintenance overnight I suspect.

it all depended on what you understood by “home page”. For a long time I had this: https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/ as the bookmark. Starting there reliably displayed the problem, at least using Firefox.
Recently I changed the bookmark to: https://www.riscosopen.org/content/.
On that page I can click Login (if it is not already showing “Account”, then log in using the remembered credentials, then go to the forum – three clicks, and a lot simpler than previously when I decided to post something.

All solved on FF on Win 7.

Took it to an extreme case just now, through a proxy with AV inspection and a firewall with AV inspection and a PAT pool gateway and the NHS ZScaler proxy – still worked.

As does this one…

Seems all solved on FF on Mac (High Sierra & Mojave). I’ve got so used to a perfectly satisfactory workaround that I had to think how to check!

Problem is solved for me – thanks a lot, Andrew.

Seems to be working here too – thanks and well done.

A login problem is not solved for the Iris browser. If you right click on a link to get the page in a new window (tab) , the page tells you that you are logged out. I looked at the cookies file and didn’t see any riscosopen cookies.
I did login first before going to the forum.
