Firefox logging issue

[learninmypc]

On my desktop & Acer laptop I cannot get in at all now, just a black screen red X in middle & community (32x32) in the tab

I just clicked refresh & can see the forum but still can't login

That happens on that particular system only? What about others? Where are you posting from correctly?

In my case, it happens ONLY in particular browser, I.e. Firefox. Same machine, at the same time Chrome works fine.

For me issue persist in both Chrome and Firefox on my W10 computer as well aa on my galaxy tab s6 tablet. Does NOT occur on my S10 phone on either home or cell network.

Hi, new user here. I post this to bring something to the attention of the staff: today, I was searching on Google for reviews for RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT. When I visited techspot to read your review, I noticed, to my utmost stupefaction, that I was logged into someone else's account, a user called jwdR311. After some minutes of bewilderment and checking to make sure it was not some old account of mine I had forgotten about, I logged out. Can some staff tell me what happened? How on Earth did someone's else account, one I had never even heard of until an hour ago, ended up being logged into from my browser? I know computers can be hacked and such, but if a hacker were to get control of another computer, they would steal passwords and info, not use the said computer to log into their Techspot account.
BTW, I checked the password list (the browser would have saved the password) and the browser history and there was no recent history of even visiting the Techspot website. So how was it possible that I somehow found myself logged into an unknown account, from a website that I have last visited more than a month ago?

Clearly there's a bug we have yet to resolve and to be able to replicate in the first place, so we can troubleshoot it better.

For now what I wanted to explain is that there's no leak of user data and you are not getting "logged in" someone else's account.

The problem stems from our caching mechanism. Instead of caching "guest" visitor pages, our cache is sometimes saving logged in user headers (e.g. the username showing up at the top of the page), which is related to the various problems you have seen with logging in or being unable to log in.

I'll keep you posted if we are able to resolve this bug soon.

So, Linux Mint > Chrome you can't log in?
But on Firefox, on the same system it works just fine?

In short, yes.But let me clarify a bit when I log in with Firefox,everything works great.After that if I go to Google Chrome I'm still logged in,but I can't post on the forum???It doesn't just happen here but also for example XDA Developers Forum ect,they use XenForo...the same thing happens for some 4ums from Serbia.It's a strange thing that happens,with Google Chrome

 

[Julio Franco]

In that case it's likely an issue between the Xenforo login system and the configuration of Chrome is that particular OS (or your installation), we use Chrome all the time on Windows, Linux and macOS and we've observed no such problems, so the room to test or troubleshoot further is really limited here.
