Admiral_Karasu Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 What happens when you try? I am currently on Firefox logged in on both EU and ASIA. I only log in when I occasionally get kicked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightPhoenix07 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 WG’s aware of the captcha issue on Firefox but it was supposed to be fixed last night. Is it still getting stuck? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snargfargle Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I can log in using Firefox. Try clearing your Firefox cache. The easiest way is via CCleaner. https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware that the open Mozilla Foundation was taken over by Google along with their signature Firefox browser. That would be awful since it is one of the few "open" foundations. I use Mozilla's products to avoid the cancer that is Google. While the Google search engine is the default for Firefox and thus a significant revenue source for Mozilla, users are under no obligation to use it.

Where did you read that Google owns Mozilla? Mozilla Foundation is still separate company AFAIK. Leo "Apollo11" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Firefox with no issues whatsoever. I don't think you have your information right. Mozilla signed a multi-year deal with Google to make Google the default search engine for Firefox but Google has not purchased Mozilla. The default engine can easily be changed, however. I use DuckDuckGo. Edited March 29 by Snargfargle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bought it so they could dismantle it? Reminds me of a villainous plot in the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" Quote Eddie Valiant : What the hell's a freeway? Judge Doom : Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena. Smooth, safe, fast. Traffic jams will be a thing of the past. Eddie Valiant : So *that's* why you killed Acme and Maroon? For this freeway? I don't get it. Judge Doom : Of course not. You lack vision. *I* see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on, all day, all night! Soon, where Toontown once stood will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly-prepared food, tyre salons, automobile dealerships, and wonderful, *wonderful* billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My God, it'll be beautiful. Eddie Valiant : Come *on*! Nobody's gonna drive this lousy freeway when they can take the Red Car for a nickel! Judge Doom : Oh, they'll drive. They'll *have* to. You see, I bought the Red Car so I could dismantle it! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096438/ The "Red Car" was the name of a trolley company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo "Apollo11" IF you do a Firefox cache clean, and you continue to have web issue... Only then, do I recommend doing a DNS FLUSH. Now, this step should be done every 3 months. I can assure you, this step will fix the issue without complications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethervox Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 My pardon. Perhaps, FireFox was not bought by Google. However, one day, Google implied this to me via not allowing me FireFox access & informing me to use Google mail instead - Google informed me that they no longer supported FireFox - so, I now use Google for my email. Maybe it was a Google scam - thing is my email works - not going to change back now &, potentially, have more problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volron Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) What the ell is going on here??? I use Firefox, and while I have to refresh every now and again at login, I don't have any problems getting onto WG's main website. Had no issues getting onto the main site just now. 16 minutes ago, Aethervox said: My pardon. Perhaps, FireFox was not bought by Google.

Good thing you didn't take the bait. Edited March 30 by Volron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silence_CN Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 As for the problem mentionned here, I did not experience it, but it sounds very strange. I've been using Firefox since version 0.73 (yeah : it's quite a long time 🙂 )and almost never had any problem with this browser. Juste ONCE in 20 years with version3.6, before they upgraded the engine. I always have between 30 and 40 tabs open and never have any issue. But I admit that I am a bit of a paranoïd : I always refuse cookies on my computers and I clean the various caches on a regular basis. A few tips to know/apply and its OK (Ctrl + F5 is always good thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
