Hi cd1515, Which share service is giving you difficulties?

It is possible to refresh the login cookie to a particular account that is attached by logging in again at the site. However this may not be ideal. Currently the only work around when a service stops working it to readd the account or to readd the service.

I can't re-add the service, I never added it to begin with.. it just appeared when I updated to the latest version of firefox.

Hi cd1515, Ah, you may need to add a service in order for the Share button to have an account to share it too.

Visit this page to add services:

I have a service attached to it----Gmail. and sometimes when I click the share button it does go right to Gmail. but other times nothing happens. so my problem remains

Do you have remember me or remember login for your gmail service on that computer?
