I cannot comment on any blog that has an embedded comment form; e.g., www.blogger.com and www.blogspot.com.

Apparently, this has been a problem between Firefox and Google for over a year with no definitive resolution.

Chosen solution

I haven't had occasion to try commenting on either a Blogger or Blogspot blog, so I checked a couple past threads on this. Didn't see anything confirmed other than accepting third party cookies.

You listed several add-ons that might have their own separate restrictions on cookies. Checked these?

  • BetterPrivacy 1.48.2 "Super-Cookie Safeguard"
  • Ghostery 2.2.1
  • Permit Cookies 0.6.2

To see whether a plain vanilla installation of Firefox works, you could, as a diagnostic, create a new (blank) profile: Managing profiles. You don't have to use it going forward, but if you can comment in a default configuration, then it's probably an add-on causing the problem.

Oh, thank you, thank you, a thousand thank yous. If I were paying your allowance, I'd increase it!!

Apparently, Ghostery has a block on Google FriendConnect and I needed to disable that one block in order to post on the embedded comment form.

Thanks, again.

And I cant write comments when later a CAPTCHA code is required. In most cases and for most pages the properly typed CAPTCHA code fails with Firefox. In that case I always switch over to IE which handles CAPTCHA codes fine.
