Problem with the forums using FireFox.

[Gargantou]

Hey, running latest non-beta version of FireFox 4 without any addons enabled.

For a few hours browsing the forum works fine, but eventually I get this.

Apache Server at localhost Port 80

It is solved by clearing cache and cookies, but it gets annoying doing it every few hours.

I was wondering if anyone knows what I might be able to do to solve this?

Sorry for posting this in here, but I didn't want to bother an admin with it in PM since I'm not sure who it is I should have PMed!

Thanks for any help, for now I am browsing the forum using IE.:|

 

[Solaris]

Use Chrome bra

 

[Doomination]

perhaps he doesn't want big brother (google) keeping track of everything he does?

 

[Gargantou]

Okay, let me clarify my question for Solaris then.

How can I solve this without having to change to a different browser?

 

[Yorick]

Try manually deleting the cookie and see if that fixes it. From what I've seen Googling the problem, it seems Firefox is having some issues with overwriting cookies.

 

[Gargantou]

Yeah, manually deleting the cookie fixes it but then it seems to come back after a few hours.

But, seeing as this seems to be a FF specific problem I guess I can't do much else than wait for a future fix for it.

Thanks for the help Yorick!

 

[Yorick]

Oh, I knew it came back if you deleted it through Firefox, but some people were saying that it works if you delete it by way of windows explorer.

It's really weird that it continually happens. It makes me feel like not everything is being deleted. Did you try deleting the entirety of your cookies/cache/history?

And you're using the latest version of Firefox as well, I take it?

 

[Gargantou]

I can't seem to find where the cookies are physically stored, tried looking in the AppData folder for FF but couldn't find it there.

Anyway, I've tried completely cleaning it out both by using the FireFox cleaning utility, but also an external utility like CCleaner.

And yes, I am using the latest version, and I've tried disabling all my addons to see if they were interfering but that doesn't seem to be the case sadly.

 

[Stylo]

That's weird. I use FireFox and I've never had this on the forums...?
