When I try to go to certain pages on PayPal, I get an error message which says 400 Bad Request: Size of request exceeds server limit. Didn't do it before the lasted Foxfire update. Can I revert to an older version?

1. Using Windows XP home

2.PayPal is the only website I have problems with Foxfire; works fine on IE8

3. I can get to some of the desired pages through other links on PayPal so it's not the pages themselves

4. The error message contains this: Cookie: KHcl0EuY7AKSMgfvHl7J5E7hPtK=STMZXVPEjOuzek-HGHcBJRjmRXIQgXpML8uy9fV13oPeEYcAUnBOhKFzvNJqcb-rsc2S6nlYOklSdX6P; cookie_check=yes; LANG=en_US%3bUS; INSIDE

When I saw Cookie, I did a disk clean including temp files and cookies. No difference. I also did a System Restore, to no avail.

5. The 400 message actually reads: Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

6. Talk to PayPal customer service and they have not heard about any Foxfire conflicts.

7. Windows Firewall and Kaspersky Firewall turned ON but this is the same configuration before the Foxfire software update. PS. I'll give up Foxfire before I give up Kaspersky

It worked! Thank you SO much!

Thank you, your suggestion worked, but why do I get this message over and over and over after each transaction? Having to clear my cache after every transaction to do the next one is tedious!

It is more likely a cookie problem.

Did you clear the (PayPal) cookies as well?

Clearing cache makes it work again until it stops working. I can't keep clearing my cache. I'm developing. THIS IS A FIREFOX BUG and it may be related to paypal sandbox. Does not occur in Chrome.
