User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.2) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.2) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) When I attempt to log-in to my LinkedIn account, Firefox gets stuck in a loop and does not actually transmit the log-in and password to the website. If I use internet explorer I can access the LinkedIn website without difficulty. This happened with another website, but only temporarily. However the problem with the LinkedIn website persists. I have emptied the cache, deleted cookies etc, but still it remains. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to LinkedIn website (www.linkedin.com) 2. Insert log-in and password 3. Click on "enter" 4. Repeat the steps above 3 or 4 times 5. Use Internet Explorer Actual Results: Prior to step 5, I get stuck in a loop of "register or log-in" and "log-in". Naturally, I choose the "log-in" option from the former as I already have a LinkedIn account. Expected Results: At the "register or Log-in" stage, I should be able to log in to my own LinkedIn profile.
