Hi.

A client of mine is having issues when using firefox 3 logging in to the admin siteaccess.

The user is not able to log on each time he/she tries. When retrying this several times the user is finally granted access to the admin gui.

My question : Why does this happen ? They do no experience the same problems when loging in from their home computers ,only at work. Why is this related to browsers (they do not have the same problem with ie 7 or 8)

Grateful for any help.

using the livehttpheaders plugin for firefox is what I recommend for all login/logout problems, as it traces the complete http sessions, and allows to debug cookie problems or problems with etags/304/caches
