There are certain web pages that I am able to access with IE11 but not with Firefox when I use my windows 7 restricted user account. IE11 is setup such that every time a web page wants to store a cookie it will ask me. During the installation of Firefox I had all the IE11 settings transferred/imported into the Firefox. I check the privacy settings in Firefox and option to accept cookies is enabled and the choice "Always" is selected for the question "Accept third-party cookies".
