I was going to suggest doing what we did when this happened to another site. Delete the Bookmark for Gardenstew and re-save it.
This is the non-specialists way of uncorrupting the Cookies file.

You all know that what I know about computers you could put in a thimble and still have room left over...but ... I think this is the problem I had back in September when I downloaded FF. It kept taking me back to the GS home page but I couldn't get any further. Someone mentioned deleting the cookies and re-typing the password. That worked! If this isn't clear, go back to September and read my post ...Internet Explorer.

Yay! It worked, it worked, and I'm on the Stew on FF again. Lovely, lovely. Very Happy

I went in on the tools-menu and deleted all cookies and my bookmark, opened the Stew and logged in, and hey-presto!

Thank you all for being such dears. Stew Face 2

Good oh!
Now if someone can just tell me why my Dialup modem has to be removed and replaced before it will work when the Computer has been in 'Sleep' mode I will be as happy as Droopy.

Also I would recommend you to always update to the latest version of Firefox. Similar to IE so also Firefox has it's little bugs coming with newer versions but at least the old bugs are taken care for.
And as someone said before about the mozilla support forum, I can agree on that and recommend in case of any problems come up using Firefox.

The only trouble with updating is that some of the Add ons will not work with the latest version. It is annoying as one I use is like that. Check before updating.

I can't log in to GardenStew through FireFox, but it works fine in IE. The problem is I don't like to use IE because of the non-existing ad-blocker.

Now, what do I do? Switch to Google Chrome?


I only use FF can't stand anything else. Never had a problem. Try clearing out your cookies in your cache.

GM, we got it sorted already, but thank you for your help. Very Happy I really don't like using other browsers either, but am inclined to test out Google Chrome since it's getting glowing reviews from some of my nerdy friends. Laughing
