Can't post or edit via Firefox browser?

[lonepigeon]

Anyone else having problems with the Firefox browser on the RPF?

I'm on a Mac and I had to switch to Safari.
Firefox quit working for posting and editing in the last couple days. It still works fine for viewing the board.

I had that problem as well, with version 3.0.3. That update came out last week, a few days ago they updated to 3.0.4. and now everything´s back to normal again.

I'm using Firefox 3.0.4 already.
I'll try their website and see if there's another update or something.

Fixed it.
I manually deleted all cookies for therpf.com
Once I restarted Firefox and logged back in to the forum it worked.

Firefox 3.0.4 is still the latest Mac version, but isn't immune to whatever bug that Michael also had in 3.0.3

Yep, in the testing that I did in the other "can't edit" thread I found that if you are logged in with www.therpf.com and you attempt to access just therpf.com the system will assume that you are not logged in (and visa versa because seperate cookies are set for the two different domains).

I'm not sure if that was it. I only found one set of cookies and I always use the same bookmark in my Firefox toolbar to access "www.therpf.com".
Oh well. At least it was a simple fix.

I was logged in fine. I could bring up an "edit post" or regular "post" box (even quote text) but as soon as I hit "save" or "submit" whatever I typed disappeared and I would get a message saying that the forum requires posts to be at least 1 character long - and the box I had previously typed in would show up empty.

You are correct, the "at least 1 character long" edit post issue was a separate problem.

It seems that there was a problem with 3.0.3 but everything seems to be working okay for everyone with 3.0.4, but strangely, the only difference between 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 is a fix for the "remember passwords for sites" not working properly with some web sites (but with this kind of stuff you just never know for sure).
