From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Previously received an error message regarding site access being denied because a Cookie couldn't be set, but I looked at my settings and Edit > Preferences > "Allow sites to set cookies" is checked. I found it strange that a Netscape/Mozilla authored browser IS unable to access a Netscape owned/operated website. Exact error message, reproduced on the "Edit My Page" link is: "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked." Happened on URL: http://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp?mcState=copyCookies&siteId=hometownNSUS&authLev=1&siteState=OrigUrl%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252fpublish.mywebpage.netscape.com%252f_cqr%252f_edreg%252fed_tos.adp%253fmturl%253dmywebpage.netscape.com%25252F_fm%26RefUrl%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252fpublish.mywebpage.netscape.com%252fhtp%252fb_inValidConfig.adp%253f%2526security%253d1&isSiteStateEncoded=true&lang=en&locale=us Today I also received an error message, "Sorry, Webpage Designer is not supported on your Browser" which simply further supports the Firefox browser's non-functionality with this web site. URL of this message: http://publish.mywebpage.netscape.com/htp/b_inValidConfig.adp?&security=1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.0-2.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Sign-in with a valid account to http://mywebpage.netscape.com/ 2. Click the "Edit My Page" link (http://info.netscape.com/fwd/mwpedt/http://mywebpage.netscape.com/mt.ssp?f=fm) 3. Error message is displayed. Second error message occurs on: 1. http://mywebpage.netscape.com/ 2. Click "Edit" (stylized button) near "Edit Your Page". 3. Then click "Open an existing page" on the following page. 4. (following page is: http://mywebpage.netscape.com/_fm/) Actual Results: Disappointment. Just wanted to update an old online resume with a new address. Expected Results: I expected the browser to be able to handle this site. Perhaps it is an AOL-technology driven page (.adp) not previously tested with Mozilla technology. Additional info:
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
