I get into a login redirect loop, this happens with Tumblr and Hotmail. I can't login other browsers either. My cookies acception and acception of cookies from Third-Parties are enbaled. Still no dice, but I can login other computers just fine.

Solution choisie

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

You can check the permissions of the live.com website on the about:permissions page via the location bar.


If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

May I ask how do you edit "cookies.sqilte"?

You do not edit SQLite database file like cookies.sqlite directly as that may cause corruption of the database tables, but you use the user interface (Option > Privacy) or a possible extension to manage its content.

It an SQLite database file is corrupted then only deleting that file and let Firefox create a new file will help.
