can't login magento in local system in firefox

Question

Hi

I have installed magento in my local Xampp. After installing I have tried to login in Mozilla (both in front end and admin side). Does any one know how to login magento in fire fox.

Thanks

Answer 1

This is a known issue, and a number of blog posts document some solutions. Try Ash's solution first, failing that you need to alter Magento's code per Richard's post. Make sure that you follow his instructions to move the code into your /app/code/local to prevent future upgrade issues.

The problem occurs because of the way that Firefox handles cookies from localhost, and Magento's code is not very forgiving of that.

Safari worked for me without any workarounds.
