1159910 - Cookies blocked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Brandon Edington]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150415140819

Steps to reproduce:

When visiting sites, such as www.cheathappens.com after logging in, my cookies are somehow being cleared or blocked. If I click on a link on the site, I am immediately logged back out. This has never happened before, and every time I visit the page I must re-log in.


Actual results:

I have tried disabling AdBlock Plus and this has no effect. I was told by the site admins that something in this version of Firefox is blocking their cookies.

Does the following support article help?

If not, does the problem go away when you start Firefox in a brand new profile?

If yes, you can Refresh Firefox to discard your add-ons and preferences while retaining things like bookmarks and passwords.

You may mark this as solved, it turns out it was my antivirus, ESET NOD 32 that was blocking the cookies. I made an exception in the list under ESET, and it works fine now. I never thought of ESET because I have never had this problem with ESET before. Thanks for the help.
