I use this forum a lot and have not been able to login with firefox.

http://www.diabetes-book.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=login;sesredir=action~login2

When I enter my username, I use all caps. But when I leave the username field, the username changes back in to lower case letters. So, I have not been able to login.

I am new to Firefox. Am I missing something simple?

Make sure that you haven't saved uppercase and lowercase versions of that name and password.

Remove a saved password here: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

See Password manager - Remember, delete, change and import saved passwords in Firefox

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.
