FIREFOX LOG IN PROBLEMS QUESTION???

[74man]

I have been a member for quite a few years now but I couldn't log into Calguns.Net for the past 6 months or so. The CalGuns.net site would thank me for signing in and then send me to the same sign in box. The signin header would show that I hadn't signed in. I have finally figured it out, after about 6 months of emailing calguns and even emailed the foundation and wrote them a letter. Last year around thanksgiving my computer gave up the ghost, it was about 10 years old and had Windows Vista Business for it's op system. My new computer runs Windows 10 and my son set it up with FIREFOX as my online contact. The wife wanted to watch "THE VOICE" on the puter because Dish cancelled the local channel that we normally watch, but she couldn't watch it on firefox system, it said we need to download ADOBE FLASH PLAYER which my son said that it was trouble, so my son came over and downloaded Google Chrome so I used Google Chrome with a temporary password and it let me into Calguns.net site. Can someone who knows computers tell me why Firefox doesn't work and Google Chrome does? I don't know much about puters but love to do research on guns and laws. Guess I will have to use Chrome from now on, but for the future I would like to know why FIREFOX won't let me into Calguns.Net?

I use Firefox to get on Calguns.net on a couple of my computers. They are Macs, though, so perhaps that has something to do with it.

I'm hanging onto my old "Windows XP Pro" OS as long as possible. I also use 'Firefox" as primary browser since Internet Explorer won't even let me play a YouTube vid.

When clicking on CalGuns in my favorites list. I often get a "Server Cannot be Found" notice on Firefox. I just click the "Try Again" button and it comes up.

When you sign in, do you use the "Remember Me" setting? This is the automatic sign in default.

BTW, I'm another old codger who knows little to nothing bout puters.

Thanks Pacrat, us old codgers sure missed out on a good thing when we didn't go to school on these puters and learned how they operate. All three of my kids went to college and got degrees, not in computers but they know a hell of a lot more than I do. I try to read the help menu about things but I get lost when they mention something I am not familiar with. I love the wealth of information on the net though.

Your puter is your friend. Maybe a good bonding exercise with your kids
