FIREFOX: For those having trouble with staying logged on (a cookie issue), I recently had similar problems with Google Toolbar (could not access my google bookmarks) even though I had Firefox set to allow cookies. Here is what solved it:
Go to Tools/Options/Privacy/Exceptions
Now in the "Address of web site" box, type in: bb.fuzzychef.org and then click the ALLOW button.
This should set it so it will always allow cookies for this site. I was suprised it was required to specify the site I was having trouble with as I thought all sites would be able to leave cookies unless they were blocked. Even the google tech guy was surprised when I found this solution because he didn't know about it either.
IE 7.0:There is a similar setting for IE that I have used in the past to solve this kind of problem. Do this:
Click on Start/Control Panel/Security Center
Scroll down to Virus Protection. Here you should see Internet Options - click that.
Now, click the Privacy tab and then click Sites.
In the "Address of site" box, type in: bb.fuzzychef.org and then click ALLOW.
Further notes:If you have a Firewall, you may have to do something similar to these types of ALLOW settings within your firewall depending on how much security has been set. Also, some anti-virus "suite" programs have these types of ALLOW settings too.
So don't give up until you've found all of them and set them all to ALLOW. On one computer I had, I had to set ALLOW in 2 different places regularly to get things to work properly. I pulled out a lot of hair until I figured that out.
Hope that helps someone.
