I tried logging onto a site tonight, facebook.
After entering my name and password, I keep getting told:

Cookies are not enabled on your browser. Please adjust this in your security preferences before continuing.


I have no IDEA what this means.
I have windows XP and use firefox. I even tried IE and got the same.
I went to tools...internet options...privacy....low security...accept all cookies...same message.
I went to tools...and all cookies are excepted.

What is going and what can I do?

I don't get it...why then could I login here?

Thanks!Try...Start>All Programs>Mozilla Firefox>Mozilla Firefox (safe mode)Did....I get the same thing.
I even went on a different computer in the unit and got it...here is the message


Security error: Domain Mismatch


You have attempted to establish a connection with “login.thefacebook.com”. However, the security certificate belongs to “login.thefacebook.com.” It is possible, though unlikely, that SOMEBODY MAY be trying to intercept your communication with the website.

If you suspect the certificate shown does not belong to “login.thefacebook.com”, please cancel the communication and contact the site administrator.

I hit ok>I enter name and password and am told:

For your security, never enter your Facebook password on sites not located on Facebook.com.

I enter name and password once more and am told:

??Did it just start, or it's been an ongoing problem?
Did you try Safe Mode with Networking?If you're on IE 8, try TWEAKING the Advanced Privacy Settings in Tools.Internet Options. Click the Privacy TAB, then select the Advanced button. I've set mine to accept all First Party cookies, and prompt for all third party cookies. Click OK/Apply.

Just to be sure, when you return to IE, dump your history and all related cookies/temporary internet files. You can even hit F5 after entering the facebook address to make sure your browser loads a fresh version of the page.

Note that all of the apps on Facebook (almost all?) use third party cookies, so you may be clicking allow/block on the resulting dialogs for awhile until you've hit everything hosted by Facebook.

BTW I got no response whatsoever from contacting Facebook outside of their automatic "thanks but no thanks" response.

Good luck.This is 18 months old topic.Not any more Quote from: bluecountry on May 02, 2008, 07:54:12 PM
