Can't log in through Firefox, only Safari.

XP pro.

I have the same problem with ff 2.0. I make ff disallow all cookies with exceptions. I add the "pownce.com" to the exception list, and i still cannot log on. I have no other problems with other sites (i have > 50 sites that I make exceptions for that works).

hey ariel - any update on this issue? im running xp pro w sp2 and latest version of ff installed. i also use noscript, but like other users allow cookies for all my othersites and have had no problems until trying to log into pownce at home.

any suggestions?

you help would be appreciated!

I am having the same problem with ff2.0 on an xp machine. I am logged into Pownce now, but only because I entered my email address in the "forgot password" field, had the reset password link sent to me and logged in with that.

I still cannot log in directly into Pownce with Firefox, or Opera.

I'm having this problem as well. Win XP with Firefox 2 (latest build). I can, however, log in with MS Internet Explorer 7 (latest build).

to everyone who is having issues - please post your current list of extensions and the build no. (if not current) of ff that you are using. perhaps gathering this information will help them determine what it is that is not allowing pownce to work with cookies?! I will post my list this evening ....

UPDATE: I got in tonight! what changed? Nothing on my end ... wonder if it was 'fixed' ? Anyone else reporting good news?

Anyone fix this? I still can't log in with Firefox. Tells me that I need to turn on Cookies. My cookies are on all Firefox Addons are off and still, I can't log in.

Any help? Thanks.

Update!: Okay, check this out....

If you download the Pownce desktop software -- http://pownce.com/download/ -- and if your default web browser is Firefox, AND, you hit the "Home" button on the bottom of the Pownce desktop software, AND THEN, try to log into Pownce with Firefox....you'll get in.

I was able to log into Pownce that way with Firefox. All Addons "abled".

Go figure.

=^.^=

weird. i didnt do any of that and it just started working for me almost 2 weeks ago. any word from on high as to why this could have occurred in the first place? ... (just wondering ariel)

I also have this issue, but have found a fix (for me at least). I disabled my "customize google" firefox extension and now I can log in with no trouble. If I enable it the problem comes back. If you have this extension installed give this a try and post your results. Hope this helps.

I get the same errors. Firefox redirects to www.pownce.com when I try to log in at pownce.com and IE stays on pownce.com (no www.), so I have to wonder whether it's the browser or the server adding "www." to the host name. The www.pownce.com should not be able to retrieve cookies for pownce.com (without the "www.").

I've been getting the same, except the redirection is going the other way (from http://www.pownce to http://pownce) for me. I don't have any extensions that customize Google or mess with cookies, so those aren't the problem in my case. Using Firefox 2.0.0.11 nightly on WinXP, not having any other issues.

Update: I came up with a possible solution, it's working for me! :-D

Go into Firefox's "Tools" menu, and select Options... In the "Privacy" area, look for the Cookies section, and select Exceptions. Add http://pownce.com and set it to Allow (as in "always"), then do the same for www.pownce.com -- As soon as I did that, I went back to Pownce's website, and it finally let me actually log in.

Interestingly, before I tried this trick, a search of my current cookies revealed nothing for Pownce.com, even though I have Firefox set to accept all cookies without asking me. The Exceptions area didn't have it listed, either, so I have no idea why Firefox wasn't letting me log in.

I came here in search of a solution to the same problem, and Moggymania's solution worked: I had to allow cookies for both pownce.com and www.pownce.com. Awesome.

I guess I found out the reason of "Please enable cookies and try again" error with Firefox.

Pownce uses Google Analytics (GA) for web statistics. To enable this feature, a remote JavaScript file is loaded ("http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js"). Urchin (the software behind GA) basically sets 4 different cookies. (named: __utma, __utmb, __utmc, __utmz).

After the gory details, here comes the root cause. Two different very popular Firefox add-ons, with specific configurations can block Google Analytics. The first one is Ad Block Plus with 'ABP Tracking Filter' subscription (which barres the downloading of Urchin JavaScript) and the other one is CustomizeGoogle add-on configured to block sending cookies to GA (Tools -> CustomizeGoogle Options -> Privacy -> Don't send any cookies to Google Analytics)

Although the client could set session cookie named "sessionid", Pownce seems to assert Google Analytics cookies first.

That's why the login window spits out "Please enable cookies and try again" error I guess.

This's an ugly problem though. If my theory about checking Urchin cookies (__utmX) is true then I kindly request the reasoning behind this assertion.

Possible workaround for this problem:

Short answer:
Don't mess with Google Analytics. Leah loves it and you're not allowed in without it.

Long answer:
Disable the particular Ad Block filters which block GA. Here are the lines from my set of subscriptions

Lines from ABP Tracking Filter Subcription:

/urchin.js

.google-analytics.

/__utm.js

/__utm.gif?

Lines from Filter von Dr. Evil Subscription:

.google-analytics.com/

After fixing Ad Block filters, disable "Don't send any cookies to Google Analytics" option of CustomizeGoogle add-on.

Someone should fix this. Users have a right to disable Google Analytics cookies, and Pownce should respect that.

I've had this problem on Firefox on XP and Leopard. Using the mobile Pownce site instead works though.
