I am trying to sign into "LinkedIn" using Windows 7 with Firefox and get a message "Make sure you have cookies and Javascript enabled in your browser before sig
I have signed into LinkedIn prior but today even after trying my old email addresses, messages request cookie acceptance which through the privacy tab are set to allow cookies.
Not clear on how to enable the Javascript: "Make sure you have cookies and Javascript enabled in your browser before signing in."
Your help is appreciated!

This message appears after a login failure? JavaScript is enabled by default, if it were disabled, you would get warnings on numerous sites, so that probably isn't the issue.
In case of file/cookie corruption could you try...
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 Ctrl+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 Tools menu) > Options > 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"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?
