I tried to login to these forums with Moz 1.1b, and couldn't. I thought I'd forgotten my password, so had a new password regenerated and sent to me. I activated teh account with the new password, then attempted to login. Still couldn't. I did this about 3 times, with the same result. I then opened Konqueror and tried logging in with the last new password generated, and it worked fine. So, apparently, Moz 1.1b is having troubles. Can anyone else confirm this? (If you can't login with Moz 1.1b to reply, then login with another browser :) ).

Don't know about the 'b', but I've been using Moz 1.1 as my browser on both Linux and MacOS X for months, and have never had any trouble logging on to the forums.

I put 1.1b because I had to specify moz 1.1, the normal emerge wanted to install moz 1.0.1.

If you're using the emerged moz 1.1 without problems, then what could be causing my moz install to flake out like that?

I don't know if this counts, but I just emerged galeon and it gave me the same issue.

No, I'm not. I also choose the always login option (of course it currently doesn't work in Mozilla for me, lol).

When moz didn't allow me to login, I was root (I know, a big no no), and now I'm in my normal user account, and moz DOES allow me to login. I checked the root account to see if it would now work, too, but it still doesn't. Go figure!

If I run mozilla (1.2b xft+gtk2)/galeon (1.3) as root, (yes I did it once to quickly look something up, so bite me....), mozilla or galeon crashes every time I want to started it after that as root or user. Mozilla just hangs eating away at my memory , galeon keeps opening empty tabs. If I reinstall mozilla (luckly I used the emerge -b option) everything works. Well it's a good way of preventing root users accessing Mozilla you do it once, but never again....... ;-)
