This problem started right after I deleted lots of cookies, trying to avoid the ad people from getting too much information. My email is from pol.net (from Medscape). I made sure my Privacy settings accept cookies. The problem also occurs in Firefox Safe mode. I even restored the Firefox applications (I have a macBook Pro laptop) from my external hard drive using Time Machine from a backup I did 2 days before I deleted cookies -- NO change, even though checking to see what cookies are on the system appear to show that all the deleted cookies were restored !! My Medscape people CAN access my mail from Firefox---I can't from my bookmarks or URL window using Firefox. The rest of my bookmarks seem to be unaffected. I CAN access my mail from Safari. Please help.

Did you check the cookie exceptions (Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions") ?

THANK YOU , THANK YOU. YES INDEED, somehow I had excepted my website, and it showed in exceptions. After "allowing" about 8 similar but different variations of the web site, everything now works beautifully. Back to normal. Thanks again. CJC
