I'm trying to log into my site that requires authentication but I get a popup that says it doesn't require authentication and then I get a 403

I have a site that requires authentication. In the past i have logged in using firefox with the following format
http://username:password@sitename:siteport/specificsiteurlinfo
and gotten in just fine. I just set up a new computer with a new instance of firefox and try the same thing but I now get the following popup-
"You are about to log in to the site "sitename" with the username "username", but the website does not require authentication. This may be an attempt to trick you.
Is "sitename" the site you want to visit?"
When I click "yes" Firefox appears to try to go to the site without any authentication and I of course get a 403 Forbidden error.
I have tried reverting back to old versions of Firefox with no luck.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

The purpose of that warning is to alert you to the possibility of being fooled by a link with login credentials at the beginning. On your old computer you might have tweaked this setting to limit when the warning appears:

Reload the page. If it doesn't load, choose Activity from Safari's Window menu, find that picture in the list, and see what it says to the right; this may reveal what the problem is.

I have Lightroom 6 (not CC) on a Windows machine. I'm prompted to log into Creative Cloud when I restart my computer (I don't have, use, or pay for Creative Cloud), and then when I launch Lightroom, it tells me to use the application I have to log into my Adobe account...AGAIN! And then to further add insult to injury, I'm prompted to enter in the license number of my product. I've gone through this process a dozen times now...SCREAM!!!

Paulou12 what type of a Creative Cloud Membership do you have? You can find details on how to update Lightroom using the Creative Cloud Desktop application at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
Finally if you are in a managed environment then please work with your I.T. department to apply the update.

I'm trying to re-install Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0, but the Serial Number of my old copy doesn't work. Where do I get a new Serial Number?

I bought a copy of Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 in 2001, and it's been working fine, but now I'm told I need to download a new copy. However, when I get to enter the Serial Number (of the original copy), it says it's invalid. How do I get a new Serial number?

OK, answered my own question: the Serial Number is listed opposite the link at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

I am trying to log into a website "Northern Carping" which until I installed Firefox I could log into with no problems and I can still log into this site on my laptop (which doesn't have Firefox)???

I am a member of a forum www.northerncarping.co.uk/ in which I am experiencing problems trying to log in since I installed FireFox. I also have a laptop which I don't use FireFox on and have no problems. Could it be something to do with firefox?

Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Secure+Connection+Failed
You can retrieve the certificate and check who issued the certificate and other details like when it is valid.
* Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
* Click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.

The work offline option can be found from Firefox button -> Web developer or from the menubar toolbar -> Work offline (Or at least thats what happens in Windows).
Have you any other reason for being offline; router off, firefox not dialing up or whatever. Or is security software or a firewall blocking firefox, or a network connection, or firefox setting etc set wrongly.

Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication

Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication enabled. The IIS log has thousands of login attempts from Safari that result in 401 errors.
I disable Windows Authentication on IIS and it works fine. The problem with that is that my Windows clients stop working properly with seemless logins when I disable this.
The expected behavior is that Safari will work with basic authentication when NTLM does not work. That would result in a password prompt followed by a successful login instead of Safari stopping at "Loading" while hammering the IIS logs.
It does this on all machines that I have tried.
Any ideas or is this a bug?

I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

Since update not being allowed to log into vendor sites such as on line banking , but I can get in through other computers and iPad. Any suggestions?

Question? Since last update I am being auto logged out while trying to log into on line banking sites. I can log into same sites from other computers. Internet surfing is ok. Any suggestions?

The strange thing about that:

I already uninstalled, reinstalled and rebooted but it didn't work.
I would appreciate some help.

I upgraded to patchlevel 13, which solved the problem.

What to do when trying to log into my iCloud and it says "this apple iD is valid, but it's not an iCloud account"?

What to do when trying to log into my iCloud and it says "this apple iD is valid, but it's not an iCloud account"?

If you have not already created an iCloud account elsewhere you cannot do so on PC, and that is the error message you will get. You can create an iCloud account on a Mac or an iOS device and then you should be able to sign into it in the iCloud Control Panel in Windows.

Mac keeps trying to log into a Windows server with old password.

My iBook for some reason is trying to log into a server at work we use to share files on (let's called it Xserver). I recently discovered through logging my network traffic on my router at home, that my machine was still trying to access XServer.rr.com Xserver.socal.rr.com even when I was not in the office. It doesn't stop trying, over and over and over it goes, trying to find XServer. I was wondering why my account on XServer kept becoming Locked Out (Windows Server), and this is obviously the answer because it's not using the correct password.
How can i find out where OSX is instructed to connect to XServer automatically and keep trying, and tell it to stop?

Look in SystemPreferences>Accounts>yourAccount...and then into Login items. see if this server login is set to be automatic there.
If it's just a wrong password you need to fix, look into Utilities>KeychainAccess...see if this server is in there, remove it. Or do Keychain FirstAid.
There is an automount function somewhere, but I forget where that is.

I am trying to log into my apple account and it is telling me my account is disabled. How can i get it enabled again? I have tried resetting my password and that did not work.

I have tried to log into my apple account so I can download my songs onto my iPhone. It keeps telling me my apple id is disabled. I've tried resetting my password but that did not work. How can I fix this?

After resetting your password you might then need to log out of your account on your device by phone on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
