Dear Anyone.

How do I add a Site to the Safe List in Firefox 2.0.0.20? There's several sites that tell me cookies are turned off even though I've checked and the 'ON' box is definitely ticked!

Please help, I don't want to have to go back to the Virus Highway known as Internet Explorer.

Yours hopefully

I, never, have a problem like yours, with Tools|Options|Privacy set to accept all cookies. But, if for some reason, you have problems, you can accept(or block) sites by clicking if the Exceptions button in the Cookies section.

There are sites that do not do a proper job of checking the cookies settings. They are tuned for Internet Explorer, and cannot recognize (at least some) other browsers. For those sites you are stuck with using IE. Try checking the site's list of 'supported browsers', if such a page exists. Also file a feedback to the site, if they offer that capability.

Dear Fulvio and PaulD.

I should have spotted where that was - spot da branecell! And PaulD, thanx for the 'heads up' about some sites - I couldn't work out what the heck was going on with them! I didn't even realise there WAS a difference, in site-recognition anyway, between IE and Firefox.

I wonder if that goes for ALL browsers. Like, some run in Chrome, but not in IE or Firefox, others only use Seamonkey etc. Are we going to have to have ALL the browsers on our hard-drives, just incase we come across a site we want to use that's oddball-browser dependant?

What a thought!

Yours respectfully

Could you post a url for the site in question, so we can check it?

Chrome may end up becoming a great browser, but I can't see that people are going to start coding their sites for it specifically. If anything, the more different options that are available (and used), the more incentive for web designer's to be cross browser compliant.

"I didn't even realise there WAS a difference, in site-recognition anyway, between IE and Firefox"
It is the site (page) that is not coded to support other than IE. Microsoft had/has/continues to code IE in non-standard ways (although I understand that they are improving), and since IE is the predominant browser, web developers have to code their pages to IE's peculiarities. Many developers also support other browsers. IE is the de-facto standard browser. It would be a rare site that won't work on IE but does work on some other browser. IE is the 'lowest common denominator' of browsers. But improving. Note too that one must use IE when doing most changes to Windows.
