Endless login/re-auth loop in Wordpress - with Firefox only

Hi All,
I have a problem in some long-standing WP installations.
In Firefox only, I am stuck in a session timeout/login loop.
I go to admin... it shows me the login screen, I login with a known and working username and pass and then it comes back to the login screen again. This is continuous and I often can not login at all.
On occasion when I can login, as soon as I go to save a post, I get tossed to the login screen again.
Additionally If I have more than one tab open on these sites, then I will get the WP session expired dialog. I will login in again via this dialog, but within seconds, the session expired dialog will pop back up.
I have cleared browsers cache, deleted cookies, deactivated cache plugins etc etc,.. but can not find a solution to this issue.
Any help appreciated.

This can be caused by corrupted cookies or cookies that are blocked (check the permissions on the about:permissions page).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/fix-login-issues-on-websites-require-passwords
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

How to download flash video with firefox only?

I leaned that I can download flash video clips using only firefox browser without using 3 rd party
software,so when a video starts playing I select tools- page info -media, then I should select the video
file and save it,I am looking for a file with swf extension in order to save it, but here is the snag as many video file names are so long that it is impossible to see the extension which is normally at the end of the name,what shall I do?

Try with Firefox Addons
*http://addons.mozilla.org/
Try with RealTime Player - move an arrow over the flash video, realtime player shows a download link

Trying to open local files(gif, html, swf etc) with Firefox only opens a blank window.

Currently on FF33.0.2
I used to open gif and swf files(also doesn't work on saved html files) on my local hard drive with Firefox just fine before by just manually double clicking the file and FF would automatically run it just fine.
Now it only opens up a new window in the startup page.
Any other browser(Chrome, IE) that I use to open them works.
Also, I can manually force FF to run the files by dragging or using the [Open] command in the menu bar but then it's much more convenient if it runs them automatically by clicking the files themself.

Try to redo the default browser setting and temporarily set another browser as the default browser.

With Firefox 3.16 I could logIn to corporate website - why not with Firefox 5.0?

I am a Real Estate agent. With the earlier version of Firefox I was using (I think it was 3.16) , I was able to successfully 'log-in' to my company's national web site (http://www.21online.com/public/login ).
When I upgraded to Firefox 5.0, the web site displays OK, but even though I put in the correct user name and password, the site will not log me in. If I use Internet Explorer, I can log in.

I have a similar problem with my sites on ff 3.6.9 and win7, however they are fine with ff and xp they are also fine with ie 6, 7 ,8 , opera, safari and chrome in both xp and win7... I am sorry I don't have a solution... in my case I think its something interfering with the way ff in win7 is looking at css and I have tried recoding to no avail... As my sites look fine with all other browsers I'm hoping the bright sparks out their come up with a fix asap

I Can't log in with Firefox only IE

Well, I was using the forum yesterday and then came back today and it has all changed!
I had trouble with login on Firefox but when I try it in IE it works.
Also I notice that one screen is muddled in Firefox, here's a screen shot
Martin

Thanks, I hope this works.
David
It did, relatively painless. Thanks again, Harbs, I was close to busting a gut.

The sharepoint my company uses no longer works properly with firefox, only a blank page appears, is there a fix for this?

Hello,
We currently use Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and it doesn't seem to be compatible with the latest version of Firefox (33). When I try to open a sharepoint page, only a blank page appears. I do not get any error messages. The sharepoint works with other browsers, such as Chrome.
Is there a work around available so that we may continue to use Firefox?
Thank you!

Do either of these typical troubleshooting steps make any difference?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click the globe or padlock to the left of the address in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Cannot run ms safety scanner or fix it with firefox only save button shown

when I switched from IE to Firefox none of my ms safety scanner or fix it programs will run
There is no option to run as with IE and I have tried over and over to locate them in files and run but no work
I have to keep switching back to IE to get them to work even with anti virus off

All Microsoft Fix It files are executables. For security reasons, you can't directly run programs. You can only save them and run them manually.
By default, files are saved to your Downloads folder. If you put them somewhere else, you can locate them in the Library, Downloads section. See the following article for details.

I always used a free video capture program called Fraps, now it won't work with firefox only

This program will not work for me anymore but it is still working for friends of mine that also use fire fox, it captures video plus gives you frame rates per second. The program still works with internet explorer 8 but not for me in firefox..

Cannot access gmail with firefox only with windows explorer

Just installed Firefox on new computer and when going to google web site I cannot access my gmail. I get the message "not a valid gmail address". I can go to google with windows explorwer and there I can get access to my gmail.

Hi,
You can try to access Gmail without the Gmail labs feature and see if the problem goes away: https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0
If it works then perhaps a labs feature is problem.

LV2012 Web Services w/ NI Auth login not working w/ static files in Firefox 19

Hi!
I followed this procedure to password protect my web service and the static files.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DF41D5DA8EEB4840862577D90058C208
When testing it out with my web service it seems to work fine on any web browser. http://localhost:8080/add/add/1/2 first will present a login. Once the user is logged in the page refreshes and the results of the operation are shown. http://localhost:8080/logout works as well.
I followed the procedure in the FAQ to include an index.html file.
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/7747/en#toc15
When I try to access the page (via http:localhost:8080/add/web/index.html) I'm greeted with the National Instruments login screen. I enter my credentials and in Chrome and Internet Explorer the screen refreshes and I see my html file. In Firefox it hangs for awhile on the authentication screen and then reloads back to the authenticaiton screen (as if the username and password did not take).
Attached are my files. If you want to try and recreate this please follow this procedure:
* Unzip the attached project to a folder
* Open the project in LabVIEW 2012
* Check the properties of the web service to ensure that the build paths are correct
* Follow the procedure above for setting up NI Auth on your web service and adding the "testpermission2" permission. Be sure to remove "Everyone" from that "testpermission2" or you will never see a login prompt.
* Build/Deploy the web service
* open http://localhost:8080/logout to ensure that you are not currently authenticated
* open http://localhost:8080/add/add/1/2 and login, observe behavior
* open http://localhost:8080/add/web/index.html you should still be logged in so you will see the "Hello World!" just fine
* open http://localhost:8080/logout to log back out
* open http://localhost:8080/add/web/index.html and see if you are able to login.
I've tried disabelling my plugins in Firefox and still have this problem. I'm really scratching my head on how to overcome this other than throwing away NI Auth and use something else. My web service is going to run off of a static front end driven by javascript and html. So the access point will be the html file. I need to have some username and password scheme worked out. I also need to be able to see what user is currently logged in with my Web Service VIs (does anyone know if that is possible with NI Auth)?
The other BIG issue I have with NI Auth is that it requires Silverlight. So much for mobile support, eh? Anyone know of a good plug-and-play alternative so I don't have to reinvent the wheel? I guess I could impliment some kind of token system on my web service side.
In the meantime, getting NI Auth to properly work with Firefox would help.
Thanks for your input,
-Nic

Disclaimer: I in no way mean to bash NI and I have used NI Auth myself in the past
If you are going to go to the trouble of abstracting NI Auth, I would recommend instead investing your time in your own authentication scheme (or implementing a standard scheme in LV).
NI Auth is great and works for low security applications where you just don't want people fooling around with your application who shouldn't be.
However, NI Auth is really not that secure. If I remember correctly, the username is transmitted in plain text and I don't think the encryption algorithm is that sophisticated. It is nice that it's already integrated into LV, but there really are very few features at this time.
If you want something to be really secure, you need to take measures beyond what NI Auth provides and before you go to the work of building abstraction on top of a basic and somewhat shaky protocol, I'd seriously consider implementing a more stable base.

Why am I continually being asked my security question on my banking application when I use either Windows XP or Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.13 but not on my Windows XP system with Firefox 3.6.3?

I have three computers, two run Windows XP. One of the XP systems has Firefox 3.6.3 and the other has 3.6.13 installed. The banking application login acts normally with Firefox 3.6.3 but each banking login requires the security question answered with Firefox 3.6.13. This happens on both the Windows XP system using 3.6.13 and the Windows 7 system using 3.6.13. Testing Internet Explorer on all three computers does not show the same problem with the security question.
I am unable to trace this starting with any particular Firefox update due to initially thinking the problem was with the banking website.
The login webpage is https://you.usersonlnet.com/asp/USERS/Common/Login/NetLogin.asp

I believe I've solved this issue by carrying out the following action:-
First cancel all “send and receive” operations in OutLook. Next remove all emails from your "Outbox" (by either deleting them or moving them to the “Draft” folder). Next shutdown OutLook and then click on the “Start” button on the lower left-hand side of the Window’s taskbar, then click on “Run” now type in “regsvr32.exe inetcomm.dll” without the quotation marks, so it looks like this:
regsvr32.exe inetcomm.dll
Note the space between .exe and inetcomm.dll and hit “Enter” on the keyboard.
The computer will execute the command. If all goes well in a few moments a dialog box will appear and state “dll registered successful
I have not had it hand since ... cross fingers ;)

I am having problems with my email messages with Firefox

My problem with Firefox ONLY seems to occur with messages in my email (hotmail-outlook). Quite often I open an email to see no message OR I click on a link to a video and no video appears. What does appear is a black screen with the sound of the video but no picture.
Despite asking questions about this previously, there seems to be only two ways to solve this problem. The first is to clear the cache and then refresh the page and I am able to see the word text that wasn't there beforehand (I might add that this only occurs if it is a forwarded email with text; not if it is just a standard email text someone has sent to me.
The second method that seems to work is to close off Firefox by clicking the close box (X) at the top right and then reload Firefox and my email account and then all seems to work.
Is there a solution as to the cause of this problem and how I can fix it, please?
Would be most appreciative of your advice. Regards and thanks,
Anthony

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Windows 7 Aero glitching with firefox 29.0.1

Windows 7s aero theme is glitching with firefox only. When I hover over the firefox icon on the taskbar, it doesnt display the firefox windows as the miniatures. if I click on an empty space and THEN hover, it will display the windows available as miniatures. if I click on one of them it flashes for an instant and then minimizes. I cant alt+Tab into any windows that become minimized also. if I click on the firefox icon to select a window it flashes for a split second then goes away and I cant click on anything.
basically the aero functions for firefox arent working. and it only seems to be affecting firefox.
steps taken so far:
system restore to a previous point. this helped for about 5 minutes then it went back to the problem.
closing firefox, restarting it, closing it, restarting computer, opening, closing rinse repeat.
manually selecting the window I need from the task manager and selecting "switch to" works to bring it up but thats the only way ive found to open the windows once theyve been minimized.
also cleared the registry and backed it up but the problem happened before that.
removed/unpinned it from taskbar and repinning it. didnt help.
what else can I try?
specs:
windows 7 x64 ultimate
core i3-2100
24GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB
firefox version: 29.0.1

Firefox has hardware acceleration set to "on" by default, but it's still young, which means some video cards or drivers might have problems with it. You can try to disable hardware acceleration to see if that alleviates your problems.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps for Firefox version 29.0 and above:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select Options for Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux. For Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Flash Player with Firefox--Need immediate Help!

I just came across a very odd problem happening with Firefox only.
The video loads first time and plays, however if you click the next time it comes up saying cannot access/access denied, couldn't replicate in any other browser.
Basically it works fine first time after clearing the cache in FF.
it's odd, would need a resolution immediately.
test:
http://origin-akamai-aptimize-bhpb.dcs.avanade.com/home/Pages/default.aspx
you should get a video link on the home itself.
*in case u cannot access it please try out in sometime since we update it sometime.
