I have always been able to open Firefox and have my email site open as the default location. Since yesterday, it will not open. I get the message Bad Request. I can open the site with Safari and Camino with no problem.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

Thank you for your help. I will try this. Since I posted the problem I removed Firefox and replaced it with Camino. But I will try to download Firefox again and see if your suggestions solve the problem.

I have this annoying problem too . This is the most fustrating issue ever, who ever done the UAT on this release should be very seriously reviewed


Also the firefox 5 for OSX does not have the following cookies option ???? Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Please scrap this this release and send out new version that just simply work

As a result i have removed firefox 5 and reverted back to safari

Thanks

To see all the History and Cookie settings, select:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"

This issue is usually caused by corrupted cookies.
