Why can't I post in Firefox, and why do you log me out every 3 minutes?

That is supremely annoying; especially since it never used to be like this before.

Have no complaints been received at all?

I surf in Firefox, but every time I wish to reply, I have to boot up Internet Explorer (for that sole purpose).
I simply cannot log in in Firefox.

Even then, I invariably always have to log in (and yes, I check "the box").

And heaven forbid I take too long to reply (or edit!); because then I will have to log in again (and lose every bit of the post I did not "Copy" just in case--like this one).

I really cannot take this anymore, seriously.

(Please don't tell me to dump cache again, because at times I am dumping cache before every new post, and often it won't work--even after a refresh.).

I really would like to leave Internet Explorer behind (P.S. I am not a Mac guy or anything). Is there some sort of endorsement deal with GMI and Miscrosoft?

That would be my suggestion as well. I have Firefox on both my PC and my Laptop (version 2.0.0.11). I have no trouble posting and I haven't actually had to log into the site in at least 4 or 5 months on the PC and a few weeks ago on my laptop since I reformatted it. Check that your browser isn't blocking cookies from GMI.

I remember that a month or so ago I was having a lot of problems with Firefox, crashing, not loading pages correctly, random errors, etc. Even after several updates nothing changed so I unisntalled/reinstalled it. I can't remember if I lost my bookmarks, etc. when I did. Also be sure you're running the newest version of Firefox.

Sorry to hear about your issues with the site uboys!

Let us know if any of the above suggestions worked and keep us up to date with how GMI is loading in Firefox for you.
