Hi

I have a very peculiar problem when using Firefix with website I'm developing. The problem manifests itself by firefox not following the link once I click "Book Now" button on http://www.hotelhound.com.au /Hotel.aspx?HotelID=Ambassador-Hotel-Perth&s=289 page. Our logs are showing the page load method of the requested page is being called, but the Firefox reverts itself back to the url above. If you go to http://www.hotelhound.com.au/Hotel.aspx?HotelID=TEST-HOTEL&s=1149 page the "Book Now" button works as intended.

The problem is specific to Firefox. IE, Chrome and Safari are following the "Book Now" links fine. Also, we have tried and reproduced this problem on several PC's on different networks. There are no errors in the error console either.

Looks like the server has a problem with the cookies that are send by Firefox.
If I disable cookies then it works all the time.

After clicking on the test site then the Ambassador-Hotel-Perth works once for me, but the test site stops working then as well.

Thanks for your reply cor-el. I'll check the cookies setting. However, the web site relies on cookies to keep certain values when moving between pages but nothing too heavy. As I said only Firefox has the problem, other browsers are fine. BTW, we use jQuery cookie plugin to write cookies if that helps at all.
