Feedly does not detect when third party cookies are whitelisted.
In firefox:
Third party cookies are in general a bad idea, so I have them disabled. Even when disabled, exceptions can be added. If exceptions are added to "feedly.com", "google.com", and "twitter.com", feedly *should* function normally.
It may be possible to even add these programmatically so that the user does not need to take such an action.

It ended up that the firefox team had not fixed the issue in 3.0.7. But we were able to address this issue by allowing users to keep third party cookies off but creating a set of exceptions for feedly.com, google.com, twitter.com. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/65995199... for more information. Sorry it took so long. We are happy to see this issue finally resolved.

Inappropriate?StumbleUpon conveniently does this for you automatically when you install their toolbar (adds .stumbleupon.com to your whitelist and even tells you it's doing it and why).
Why can't feedley do the same thing?
I've added all the obvious domains to my whitelist (e.g. feedley.com, twitter.com, friendfeed.com, google.com) but apparantly they aren't enough. Does feedkly use some additional domains (e.g. Google has domains like googlecache.com or google-anallytics.com as examples of a less obvious google domain)?
There needs to be a workaround (or better yet an enhancement) to this extension like the one in the StumbleUpon toolbar.
I’m very annoyed!

Scott. We are willing to try to get this right. I think that right now feedly does a coarse preference check. We could change the client to instead do specific calls. We could also change the warning screen to ask users to set the right domains. Can you help use by providing a screenshot of how you set a whitelist entry? (We can spend some time tomorrow to find all the needed exception and then find the right API to set those exceptions) -
Inappropriate?Update: The firefox team has fixed this issue in 3.0.7 and 3.1. See http://blog.feedly.com/2009/03/14/thi... for more information.2 Comments Add a comment

I see that it in fact it's not been fixed, but I gather you no longer need my screenshot. The settings for third party cookie are under the "Privacy" tab in Firefox preferences.

We thought for a few hours that Mozilla had fixed the issue. It ended up being a misconfiguration on our QA machine. This problem is blocking our 2.0 release. Will be looking into it more today. Will let you know if we are able to use the Exception/Whitelist path to address it.

Inappropriate?Sadly, this problem prevents me from using feedly.
I have checked and double-checked that all of my third party cookie exceptions are correct. I have uninstalled and re-installed feedly. Still no joy.
Running firefox portable 3.0.13. (Used to work in ff 3.0.12.)

mitlenatch sorry about the frustration. I will car some time tomorrow morning to try to replicate this issue and see if there is a simple fix.

edwk thanks for your time. I ended up going back to an old install of ff 3.0.12 and whitelist issue went away. Then upgraded to 3.0.13 again and feedly was happy. Don't know what was the problem the first time around. Thanks for investigating.

Inappropriate?I am having the same issue on Windows with Firefox 3.5.2. I do NOT have this issue in Linux with 3.0.12. I have tried disabling all other extensions and even though everything is whitelisted, unless I have "Accept third-party cookies" checked, I cannot use Feedly.

Thanks for the information. Going to spend a few hours on this today. It could be a change on the firefox side in 3.5.2
-
Inappropriate?Same problem as above... Windows + FF 3.5.2 won't load Feedly. I have triple checked the cookie whitelist to no avail.
-
Inappropriate?Any news on this issue? This was a problem with the 3.0.7 series over a year ago. Why can't there just be an override that we can set?
-
Inappropriate?I've uninstalled Feedly 2.x (the version from the website) and installed 2.1 (from mozilla add-ons) and this is no longer a problem. I was presented with the cookie screen, went on anyway, and when I signed in it worked rather than bringing me back to the cookie screen.
-
Inappropriate?There was a regression in the 2.x release. It has been fixed in the 2.x.041 patch. You should now be able to use feedly without allowing third party cookies if you set the right set of exceptions.
