Some sites say cookies are blocked and I can't use some features on those sites. But I check each time and cookies are not blocked.

Sites say I can't set preferences or post on message boards, etc. because cookies are blocked. I know how to set cookies. They are NOT blocked.

Did you check the cookie permissions for the current domain in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions" after you have opened that page?

If the setting in Firefox is correct then check your security software (firewall) to make sure that cookies aren't blocked there.

Holy crap. I didn't even know security software had cookies settings. This has been going on for months. Problem solved. Thank you so much!

You're welcome

Which security software (firewall) do you have?

It's called CA. I never heard of it. But I got a free year when I got the computer in August. Do you know anything about it? Do you have a preference in security software?
