5 Authorization failed using FF3 (Win32) - ID: 1996767

Last Update: Settings changed ( msapiro )

Details:

Today, 1 day after the release of FireFox 3 I'm trying to login to my
mailman 2.1.10. After entering the correct password the errormessage
"Authorization failed" is shown. Deleting the Browser Cache/Cookies didn't
fix the problem.

There's no problem logging in with Firefox 2 or IE7. All other tested
browsers work, too. Except FireFox 3.

Date: 2008-07-21 13:51 Sender: msapiro This is a FireFox issue. It has nothing to do with Mailman.
Date: 2008-07-21 11:55 Sender: realriot Today I've found the problem. The problem consists of "copy & paste". - I got an email with a password to enter - I copied this password with a double-click and STRG-C - I pasted the password in the password field - Clicked OK and got the message "wrong password". Now I tried the following: - I marked the whole password from the right to the left - Copied it with STRG-C - And pasted it - Successfully logged in Seems, that FF3 additionally uses a "\n" with the password or something like that. FF2 didn't react this way. Is there any way to disable this behaviour? It's very strange to use copy&paste for passwords now.

Date: 2008-06-20 06:18 Sender: realriot Seems to be a cookie problem (or something like that). If I login with directly giving the pass (adminpw=foobar) it works... Entering the password at the password prompt the login fails...
Date: 2008-06-20 01:29 Sender: msapiro I second Barry's comment. I have no problems with FireFox 3 on Win XP or Mac OS X.
Date: 2008-06-19 21:22 Sender: bwarsaw I've been using FF3 on both OS X and Ubuntu and have had no problems interacting with any of the mailing lists. I think we'll need more information in order to help you.
