1. After i've activated friendly URLs, i could not relogin via FF but via IE.
2. As i wanted to register in this forum with FF just now, i got the error message

An error was encountered. We apologize for any inconvenience.

In file panel_register.php on line 282:

E_USER_ERROR - Missing saltcode in session data!

This is most likely due to malfunctioning sessions. Please check UseBB's cookie/session configuration values.

This error should probably not have occured, so please report it to the webmaster. Thank you for your help.

If you are the webmaster of this board and you believe this is a bug, please send a bug report.

With IE all was running normal.

I use Firefox myself, and many others do as well. I think you have a simple issue with cookies in Firefox. When cookies are not saved, PHP can't keep track of sessions since with friendly URL's enabled session ID's are not passed in the URL.

In other words, you will just keep creating new sessions in Firefox resulting in these problems. Please check your browser's cookie settings or try with a new Firefox profile.

Hmmm...

I'm using friendly urls in Etomite (CMS) and its running with my FF-configuration.

Cookies are explicitely enabled.

Is a conflict with one of my FF-extensions possible?

Some more proposals?

Not all applications may use the same session system, UseBB depends on cookies or URL-session ID's to work in order to keep track of sessions.

Perhaps you are using cookie settings which are not working with Firefox?

I've tried all possibilities in the Cookie-administration.
With friendly urls its not running in FF.
But when i change to IE-mode in FF its all right.

In my installation routine i disabled the first two lines in .htacces because of 500-Error. Can this be the reason?

I've got it.

Thanks for the hint to the cookie settings.

It was no browser problem. I found the reason in "Enable HTTP only cookies".
After disabling all was running fine.

PS: Can you also disable this feature in UseBB-Forum, then i also could work with your site with FF?

HTTP-only cookies should work with Firefox, I am using Firefox myself. Perhaps you are running a (very) old version?

Do you mean that 2.0.0.1 is old ;-) ?

Because you can install a lot of extensions in FF it may be, that one of the installed one may not work with enabled HTTP only cookies.

As i posted before, i explicite allowed cookies for my and the UseBB Forum. More can i not do.

Therefore i think there is a bug by working with some extensions in FF. But how should i find it???

For my forum its the only way to disable HTTP only cookies and it would be fine, if you do the same for UseBB-Foprum until this problem is solved. I think and it may be, that other users break the UseBB-installing and testing routine, cause they cannot login after setting friendly urls and HTTP only cookies.

Try with a new and clean Firefox profile by starting Firefox with the -p parameter.

FF 2.0.0.2 been out for a while now.

No problems either, this forum or mine.

@William, @Dietrich:

Same failure with FF 2.0.0.2
No Failure with new FF-profile. Shit...

I've 55 installed extensions and i need them all. Is there a way to simple reload them into an new FF-profile?

Is it possible one or more of the extensions is causing it, no telling which one(s) is causing it, if the case.

Sysiphus is waiting ...

We can't possibly check all available Firefox extensions for bugs with the use of httpOnly...

If i have some time, i will look for the faulty extension and post it here.
