Firefox keeps saying it cannot continue to create a firefox account because cookies are disabled. I check my cookies setting and cookies setting is standard. Firefox will not create an account because it keeps saying cookies are disable when they are not disabled. I have had to do this using Chrome.

Hi all,

I set up firefox on my Samsung 7 phone and Sync worked with no issues.

I think my laptop is heading towards the window! Its not just firefox causing me grief.

Thanks again for all your suggestions.

Before you do something drastic (like throwing your laptop out the window) - wait and see if maybe someone will come up with the perfect solution, okay  ?

(bear in mind that we're dealing with different time zones, though)

Hey Steve, should you find (once you got a new laptop) that the old laptop wasn't to blame after all : please, get back here and let us know  !

You can create a new profile to test if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
