Firefox Question help?
When I use Firefox DU doesn't recognize me and won't let me post,maybe that's a good thing for others,but it sucks for me.What do I need to change so it works?

1. You need to log in again
DU remembers the login using a cookie, a tiny file stored on your computer. Firefox cookies and IE cookies are probably held separately, so if you logged in using IE then when you use Firefox DU won't recognise you. Just log in again using Firefox, and don't forget to check the "remember me" box, and you'll be fine. :)

5. I looked, they are allowed.
Should I uninstall and try again?

6. Nope. That sounds like overkill to me.



If the foregoing didn't do any good I would look at my firewall. Check to see if the DU site is restricted in any way.

7. Go to Tools, Options

and click on PRIVACY on the left. Then click on saved passwords.
That should help. I hope.

also make sure that you have clicked on REMEMBER me in the DU login page. (you probably did that but I thought I'd mention it anyway)
