I am having problems with websites requiring cookies. In PRIVACY I have checked ACCEPT COOKIES, and THIRD PARTY COOKIES. However, I am still having problems. I used your "Enabling and disabling cookies" but it still does not work. Thanks.

For example, I went to Netflix site(which I am registered at) and I immediately get a screen which asks me to enable cookies and gives me different links for instructions on how to enable cookies for different operating systems.

Always good to start with a fresh reboot with Windows XP if an issue just happens.

Check your security software settings, you may be blocking at that level, firewall and FF add-ons.

1) FF settings: Tools, Options, Privacy Tab, change keep until: to, Ask me every time, click OK at bottom of box. Then try to go to NetFlix, if you are not asked about cookies, they are not getting to FF, go back to your other security software settings and FF add-ons.

2) Next FF settings: Tools, Options, Privacy Tab, Exception Button, add Netflix web address and click Allow Button, ALSO check for any BLOCK settings. Click close button, ok button and Test the results.

Thanks to 1FastBeemer for your help. I don't remember changing anything but my CA firewall was blocking the cookies.
