Upgrade to a current nightly, they are better than 1.4b-Release.

Comment 2

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Do you use a firewall and/or Proxy ?

Comment 3

[Rolf Schumacher]

I'll upgrade to nightly build.
Yes, I'm behind a restrictive company firewall.

Comment 4

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

I mean a personal firewall on your system. A firewall on the gateway to the
internet would affect all browsers.

And you don't use a proxy server for you connections ?

Comment 5

[Rolf Schumacher]

No personal firewall, company firewall only. As Matti mentioned the firewall 
could not be the reason because the behavior of Mozilla 1.4b(20030525) lacks 
behind that of IE5.5. 
Downloaded Mozilla-nightly as of yesterday - no change, error remains: Cannot 
log into http://www.web.de with user 'MozillaTestRsc' and pwd 'testmozilla'.

Please run "mozilla -profilemanager" (while mozilla isn't running) and create a
new, ADDITIONAL test profile and try it again.

This WFM on the 20030908 trunk build. Rolf, do you still see this problem on a
recent nightly? If not, please mark as WORKSFORME. Thank you.

Comment 8

[Jon Henry]

Marking WFM based on 6 months without confirmation. If you still see this in
recent builds with a new profile, please feel free to reopen.
