I upgraded to mozilla-firefox-1.5-r9 and when I login to any site, close firefox, and run it again, it won't read the related cookies and I won't be logged in when I access the same site. The cookies are there, since I can see them from Edit>Preferences>Privacy>Cookies>View Cookies but FF won't read them. The problem exists only with this ebuild, not with mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5-r2 Additional info: Before I installed firefox-1.5-r9 I unmerged firefox-1.07-r4, then deleted ~/.mozilla, /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox and everything FF related in /var/tmp/portage $ emerge --info Portage 2.0.53 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O2 -mmmx -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O2 -mmmx -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.blueyonder.co.uk/ ftp://mirrors.blueyonder.co.uk/mirrors/gentoo/ http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" LANG="en_GB" LC_ALL="en_GB" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.uk.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac aalib acpi aim alsa apache2 apm audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 cairo calendar caps cdb cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl dbus doc dts dv dvb dvd dvdread eds emboss encode esd ethereal evo examples exif expat fam ffmpeg firefox flac flash foomaticdb fortran ftp gb gd gdbm gif gimp ginac glut gmp gnome gnutls gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal icq idn imagemagick imlib jabber java joystick jpeg junit lame lcms libcaca libedit libg++ libgda libwww live lm_sensors lua lzo mad maildir matroska mcal mhash mikmod mime ming mmx mmxext mng mono mp3 mpeg msn ncurses nls nntp nocd nptl nptlonly nvidia odbc offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oscar oss pam pcre pdflib perl pic plotutils png portaudio posix ppds python quicktime readline real recode rtc ruby scanner sdl session shorten slang sndfile sox speex spell sqlite ssl svg symlink szip tcltk tcpd tetex theora tidy tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb v4l v4l2 vcd videos vorbis win32codecs wmf x86 xine xml xml2 xmms xpm xv xvid xvmc yahoo zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
I'm not a mozilla-firefox user, this bug looks related to 119637. It looks like something got switched around.
Hmm, the bugs look different, though, yes, they might share the same mechanism. On both this bug and 119637, FF seems like it's not processing cookies somehow. This bug is really annoying as FF doesn't read the ID cookies when I start it and I have to login each time I visit a site, like forums.gentoo.org or slashdot etc etc. It's so annoying, I tried to switch to epiphany-1.8.3 and found out that it's also affected by this bug, if built against firefox-1.5-r9. Should I open a new bug for epiphany?
Fixed. The problem was not with firefox at all. Suddently privoxy decided to block cookies even though it was never setup this way and was working fine for months. I found out about it, when I moved back to firefox 1.07 with a new profile and I still had the same problem. Then it downed to me that it could be the proxy. Please close this bug.
Any bug you open that you have found not to be related to the package, you can close yourself for future reference. Glad to see you have it fixed and good luck.
Thanks for the tip Jory. :)
