have recently had several moments of not knowing why a website acting strangely: I login and nothing happens. it does not say my login is wrong, but I am not signed in now.
then I remember. this is because I set my Firefox > Preferences to NOT allow cookies except from sites I specify:
Firefox > Preference - Privacy: [UNCHECKED] Accept cookies from sites
- Exceptions = ALLOW specified sites, where I list those I use regularly = blogger, dlcs, gmail.
thedayislikewidewater.blogspot.com *have to add each of my private blogspots individually or it will not redirect! happened yesterday when went to export my blogs, tried to view Owliver got 503 error, thought maybe a problem bcs not logged in for so long, maybe format of blog needed to be updated and too much time now passed. then happened again w Fromnotebooks, realized and added those and also mdlww to cookies Exceptions.
also had to add Evernote, after good while of confusion about whether their site was wack, no online version of my account. then duh need to allow cookies.
also Pinboard.
this will probably happen again. but for now, I do like allowing only cookies from site I say...
