Refreshed my Firefox. Why did I do that landed in more trouble. :anguished:

Each on line effort I go to I have to log in. All the log in details are there but I have to click on log in to get into SMF & other places I visit.
Includes also accept cookies click on that whereas before refreshing once I had agree then no need next time to agree again. Log in auto accept cookies auto.

Been through all options & can not fathom the problem.

Help much appreciated.

Because a new version of a reputable web browser contains fewer vulnerabilities that bad people can use against you without your knowledge.

Here’s a question on the official Firefox support forums that could help:

I found it by asking Google for “Firefox having to keep logging in”. I rarely use Firefox myself, but I do know they’re big on privacy so from that standpoint it makes sense to log you out: less chance of someone else using you computer to access forums, for example.

refreshed

By the way, the word you’re looking for here is “updated”

Thanks Jakko. Still working. They call it refreshed but seems to me a complete install. But then who am I to know the ins & outs of computers.

Lets face it i did not start using a computer until they bought out the Commodore 64 :hungry:

Christmas 1982 I got a BBC Model B. 32k of RAM and you had to everything yourself, no desktop icons, programmes and the like..... Just a single flashing cursor. Those were the days!!! :smiling2:

Yes by the seat of your pants Andrew.

Christmas when the craze started. I have a Commodore 64, eldest son a Sinclair ZX ?? & Daughter another began with C???.
Crazy tennis game, another Harrier jet dog fighting & refueling.

Memory was almost non existent. Had to remove things to make way for new.

Had a Commodore 128 later problem every hour switch off to cool down. In the end I had a fan belting cold air at it.

But it was very exciting time.

It was indeed. The BBC did those computing shows, you bought magazines that had the guide for programmes you could type in yourself. Even wrote some very rudimentary games myself..... And of course it was all stored in tape cassette......

Programming fascinating.

If this is then etc.

I had a C64 as well, and well remember my first floppy disk drive....heaven after using a tape drive....I want to play a game, right, start the tape drive, then go and make a cup of coffee, read the paper, walk the dog....then swear because it dropped out after thirty minutes of loading!

The other matter was the importing of pictures.

In the programe in use the code of the picture had to be introduced. You could not import direct into the programe.

My youngest son came into my space one day & said I am going to get you on line.
I thought what a complete waste of time that is.

Huh --- thinking---no change then. :rolling:

Tape loading..... An exercise in patience.... And often frustration.....

Think that ours is in the loft, along with both of the cassette drives (and the board that would let me copy tapes)
Saving a game was perilous, take out the game cassette, insert a blank one which has been wound on so that it'd record straight away, otherwise you'd lose the save

Your idea of heaven is pretty strange if a Commodore 1541 disk drive reminds you of it :tongue-out:

I used to have a Spectrum, eventually with a DiSCiPLE disk drive interface and a 3.5-inch drive. One of my school friends, who had a Commodore 64 with a 1541, wanted to go do something else while we waited for a game to load and was amazed that it only took something like 15 seconds instead of several minutes as he was used to

 

[Tim Marlow]

Ooh! Subjective quoting Jakko LOL. It was a comparative heaven, not absolute heaven!
Couldn’t afford a 1541, by the way. I had a third party drive (can’t remember the make), took 5 1/4 floppies, and they were really floppy when used alongside those new fangled 3.5 hard floppies..... compared to the frustration of a tape drive it really was computer heaven at the time.......

I have a C64 and a 1541 as part of my modest collection of old computers. Though it’s fun to play around with sometimes, I invested in a SD card reader for it to get round those loading times. (And one for my Spectrum, for the same reason. Well, that, and the fact that I can put the entire contents of World of Spectrum plus C64.COM on one SD card a dozen times over )
