When I tried to post on a site, it said,"Warning:A browser setting is preventing you from logging in. Fix this setting to log in." How do I fix the setting to log in?

If you say what the site is and give the URL fronm the location bar others will be able to test it.

Please post the exact erorr message.Firefox 10 uses a different User Agent String than Firfox 9, and it is a known issue that some sites have an issue with the particular string. (If so you may need to contact e-mail the site and ask them to fix it - also let us know please if this is suspected )

Other possible problems could be that javascript is not turned on

Or that scripts are being blocked by some security or add-blocking software you are using.
