    The other day I was fooling with Firefox and set it to ask me about cookies and may have denied some Google cookies along with a bunch of others before I set it back to allow third party cookies until they expire.

    Now I can't log on to Google, it says I'm not accepting cookies, but I am. I closed and opened FF, restarted my computer, cleared my private data, made sure I'm accepting cookies and I still can't log on even though it remembers my user name and password.

    Here's the message.
    Any ideas?

    PS Works OK in IE.

    I may try reinstalling FF but I'm not depending on a Beta browser.

    I'll probably come back around to the FireFox side of life, but right now, I'm enjoying Chrome. It's very stable, better than I expected.

    All fixed. Used MozBackup! I'll try Chrome, once the bugs are worked out.

    If not uninstalled FF yet, go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy tab -> Exceptions, to see what sites are being blocked.

    EDIT: NVM :D

    Throw Chrome in there and you've got a well-rounded ring of fighters (aside from IE7, which is bloated, slow, and obese) :p
