Please turn it on" page. ive followed all instructions i could find on this issue including your own with no success. this is getting extremely irritating. please can somebody who knows whats going on help me and dont repeat the steps on this site word for word because ive tried them tons of times with no success.

Hello m1a1warrior,

be sure you have the Accept cookies from sites and the Accept third party cookies is selected (Firefox button > Options > Privacy > Set Firefox will: to Use custom settings for history), also click Exceptions.... and be sure the site you're trying to access isn't listed.

If still you can not login try to delete the cookies.sqlite file and any cookies.sqlite-journal files in firefox profile folder(Firefox button > Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > Under the Application Basics section click on Show Folder), and check it again, see for more info : Remove corrupt cookies file


thank you
