Cannot login to Joomla Admin interface now using either Firefox 6.02 or 7.o1
We've recently found that we cannot access ANY of our Joomla Admin accounts using Firefox. We try to login and it just returns us back to the login screen every time.
This was occurring in 6.02, we upgraded and it still doesn't work on 7.01 either. We've cleared cookies, cache, history and basically wiped everything, still no luck.
Have restarted also in safe mode and disabled ALL plugins, that didn't help either.
It's not a problem with the sites themselves, as we can login with no problems using any other browser, just not Firefox.
Any ideas?

Just tried it on another PC running Firefox 6.0 and it worked fine . . .
I had the same problem. Then I tried instead of Language Default in the Administrator Login screen to manually select on language (e.g. English) and the system logged me in OK.
Still I do not know why the problem exists, but this is a work around that worked for me.

It suddenly started working OK for us also so I never did find the solution.
I'd cleared cache, history, temp etc etc . . .
I have the latest version of Firefox, and am unable to edit the administrative side of my Joomla account. Reinstalled FF, but that didn't help. Works in Chrome.
I have been using Firefox 8.0 regularly to access my Administrator interface in Joomla 1.7, but suddenly this afternoon I couldn't log in; Each time I try, I am returned to the login screen. I can get in in IE 9 (though once there, in the Global Configuration panel IE wouldn't let me get off the "site" tab).
In Chrome, all works well.
