I'm using linux PCLOS KDE5. There was a Thunderbird update and after that I could no longer login to Goodreads on firefox 57 or Sea Monkey.
Pale Moon works fine
From a Windows machine, I can login to Goodreads with IE and Chrome but not Firefox 57. The Thunderbird update and the fact I can no longer login to GR on either Firefox or Sea Monkey could be a coincident but still. . .
What could be the issue please?
I noticed someone has a similar problem http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3036007

What does happen when you attempt to log in?
https://www.goodreads.com/
No problem signing in, SeaMonkey, Windows.
Can't really see how a TB update would affect SeaMonkey/FF?
Using a proxy or anything like that?
What are your settings for, Edit | Preferences | Advanced -> Proxies (SeaMonkey)?
And how does that compare to what is set for FF & PM & Chrome?

No problem in Linux/Debian Stretch / KDE5.
@snailcoach
Which thunderbird version did you update ? And from which server ?
Could be a library conflict with shared libraries between Firefox & Thunderbird (never seen that in Debian).
+ don't you block cookies ?
+ did you try in safe mode ?

It could just be a coincidence as I said. I'm not using a proxy.

from the linux computer: Use Systems proxy settings and No Proxy for local host xxx. The same settings for FF (linux)
I don't really use Windows as such. I was only checking the browsers there. I'll check when I get to a Windows computer.
Funny thing is I just tried again and I can now login to Goodreads on both FF and Seamonkey. Except for a bunch of updates for KDE today, I didn't do anything special. Still it bothers me that I may not know the how and why of this issue.
Thanks again.

Heck, I didn't uncheck 'Accept cookies from websites, only 'Keep until I close Firefox' is checked.
No, I didn't try in safe mode.
Anyway, as I replied above, suddenly I can login to the site now without doing anything special -except for some system updates that came in today.That too could just be a coincidence, who knows.
Wish I knew what really went wrong.
I really appreciate your help. Thanks.

Ok so the reason I was able to login this time to the site was because I had not checked 'Accept cookies from websites'. When I checked that box, I was not able to login to goodreads.
What settings can I use that would allow me to access my goodreads account but still not leave the browser open like a free-for-all park?

You cannot reject all cookies especially to login.
But you can remove them before closing Firefox.
Example with "Cookie AutoDelete" : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/a ... utodelete/

You're very right, Diorser. I used 'Accept Cookies from this site'. Login works then.Diorser wrote:You cannot reject all cookies especially to login.

I guess different settings works differently with different sites.
thanks very much
