Why is a website asking me to change my browser or quit incognito mode?

I am trying to pass time by playing on Nametest, but when I click to log in to Facebook, it says I must change my browser or quit incognito mode - and I am not in incognito mode (that I know of lol)

Also, another issue I am having is that I cannot download the Chrome browser - it does not run or install the programme  :-(

Hi   !

Would you please check this setting :

3-bar menu => Options => Privacy Under 'History' choose 'Use custom settings for history' and make sure that 'Always use private browsing mode' is unchecked.

Any particular reason why you're using an older version of Firefox  ?

Separate issue :

You need to update your Flash - your system details show that you're running an older version, which can cause problems. The latest Adobe Flash version is 26.0.0.151

You can download a Flash installer here:

Note : other software might be offered .....
