It sounds like you're blocking one or more cookies that the site depends on.  Check the Exceptions List in the Privacy preference pane for nytimes-related sites and make sure they are set to "Allow" or "Allow for Session".

This is not a security bug.

Does "This does happen with either Firefox or Safari" actually mean it does NOT happen in those browsers?

Comment 3

[Steve Weisberg]

I meantto add "not" It does not happen on Firefox and Safari

Comment 4

[Steve Weisberg]

Additionally, cookies have been set to ""Allow for Session".  I even tried "Allow"

Steve, what happens if you try Troubleshoot Camino?

http://pimpmycamino.com/parts/troubleshoot-camino

Does it let you sign in then?

Comment 6

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

Steve e-mailed me privately a day after I posted comment 5 to let me know that it did not, in fact, work even with Troubleshoot Camino, and that he was now (and presumably still) unable to even log in to Bugzilla.

That sounds like a user-account or system-level issue to me, but I'm in dialog with him via e-mail about it. I'll post here if I get any further details.

...but since I haven't heard anything since posting comment 6, I'm going to RESOLVED INCOMPLETE this for now to get it off the list.
