I have a rare problem with firefox (3.6.18 at the moment) I have to work with a modified mantis bug tracker and the site wont load (the tab says "Loading..." and the bottom status bar says "waiting yourdomain.com...")

I can reproduce this and seems to be related to the cookies: I have a page with a big image still loading, I submit a form from this page and that is were the problem happens. From here no page from this bug tracker will load. This only happens to me with firefox and not with other browsers. If I clear the cookies, the site will load again.

Hope you can help me

Thanks, Fernando.

You can try to load that page in Private Browsing mode.

  • To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Select: [x] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

In PB mode Firefox doesn't use the disk cache and the cookies from normal mode.

Well, thats is a good workaround, it "solves" the problem, but I loose the History and I use it in a daily basis.

Should this be posted as a bug?
