Firefox 4 . Access Denied to firefox help forums?
i wanted to post a reply to another posting. so went to register a new account. when i click "register" it takes me to a page saying "Access denied You do not have permission to access this page."
could it be an add-on? why on earth
Ironically, i was able ot succesfully register using Google Chrome... but even still i'm unable to login with firefox...funny that~

it is not an add-on.. i disabled all and still have same problem.
If you can post your question here, that means you have already registered and logged on. Why do you want to register a new account? You can use the same one "tribalwind" to answer any posts.
you did not read my post thoroughly .... i am using CHROME to register and post here. the issue is with FF.
Try to clear the Cache and Cookies to see if that helps:

thanks i'd already tried those things without effect
Do you have the add-on "NoScript" installed? If you do, disable it and see if you can log in.
I just realized that you said you have disabled all add-ons and still have problems. My last resource will be: Do you have "3rd party cookies" checked. If not, check it to see if that helps.
yes i have "accept all cookies" and 3rd party checked.. sigh..wonder what is causing this..
i think i'll downgrade to FF3.6 or whatever the previous version was..this FF4 is still too buggy.. i also have an incredibly frustrating issue viewing certain embedded images on sites like facebook and even yahoo etc now...jsut not worth the hassle for the few new features i like on ff4.
thanks for trying'
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
- "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
- "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
i've tried those things, are you using FF4 without this issue?
Make sure that you do not block the referrer.
ahhh, this is probably the issue...yes i think i did block refferrer info on old version, but i didnt manipulate those details in 4.0 when i upgraded.maybe htat setting was imported though. have to check ,those were hidden settings,need ot find how to access that again.
thanks!
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Do you have some external proxy settings blocking your connection from firefox?
