in a lab of 10.5.8 computers, generic local login student account when using firefox to access carnegie online learning site will not submit the school code correctly. When typed in (actually no matter what you type in, correct code or not), the last two characters are changed to Pr. As in coupeville becomes coupevilPr and it is rejected. Works OK with admin or managed privileges. Works OK with OS 10.4 parental controls. Firefox 3.6.13.

I've found a fix - it's all explained in this article. If the page gets deleted: the fix is to add 127.0.0.1 port 10010 as HTTP & SSL proxy (SOCKS5) in FF. This uses the Parental Controls proxy server (which provides filtering).

Where do we find such men as gmichael225? (or women, as the case may be). I didn't think anybody would really solve this.

Thanks a bunch.
