I did not delete the cookies, but all problems were gone the next day as inexplicably as they had appeared.

You could try setting Firefox up this way, also...

Here's my "Show Cookies..." as or right now.

This is my "Settings..." .

This is where I've been since I logged in, and I can still go back to any of those tabs...

You will get logged out if you quit Firefox, though...

Red & black messgae appears "an error occurred - reload the page and try again" . Reloading brings page back , logged in.
Sounds very much like a communications problem, garbled bits somewhere. Could be anything from the wind blowing to a MODEM or Router failing or a cat playing with an intermittent cable. You could always try unpluuging and re-plugging all the cables.

A couple years ago, my sister-in-law was having fits with her connection. It took four different service personnel over many trips to nail that one down. On windy days, the drop from the pole to her house would sway in the wind and open a loose connection at the pole. Had to be the right person in the right place at the right time for that one!
 
Previously Lori used to post here.
For instance here.
Apparently her last post was around the time this thread began, since afterwards I could not even find her account any more.
And her previous posts list that she posted 0 out of 0 posts.
Did her account get deleted accidentally or what?

Did her account get restored?
Or did she get a new account?
Or did she choose to abandon her account?
Or...?
Most have registered again. I don't have anything on Lori.
