When I'd login to the site using Firefox .9 it worked fine.
After installing version 1.0 the login session variable isn't saved causing the
website to kick me out when I click on any link in the site.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login with username and password
2. Login successful - main screen is displayed
3. Click on a link on the main menu bar

Actual Results:  
I got booted out of the site

Expected Results:  
Category listing appropriate of the selected menu item should have been displayed.
Firefox 0.9 works fine, Internet Explorer work on that site.
After installing Firefox 1.0 I can no longer view the site.
Not being able to log into a site could be a bug, but it's not a security hole.
 Making public.

possible dupe of bug 263057. flip the browser.chrome.favicons pref to false and
see if the problem goes away (no UI for it, use about:config)

Not sure I understand where or how to do that.
What file do I need to edit?
Thanks
1. Enter about:config in the location bar and press enter.
2. Enter fav in the filter box.
3. Double-click "browser.chrome.favicons", so that it becomes bold and the value
is changed from true to false.
4. Restart Firefox (because I don't know if flipping the pref this has immediate
effect)
5. Try your site again.
I'm liking this browser more and more all the time!
Thats a great feature to be able to access the configuration like that.
Thanks guys
That fixed it.
