Signing on in "Orange.fr" website with my cell phone number and password is endless on my Ubuntu Pc. It works fine on a Windows Xp Pc (same Firefox release)

[Yan]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I use Firefox 3.01,

# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

# uname -a
Linux Ian 2.6.24-20-generic #1 SMP Mon Jul 28 13:49:52 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Trying to change some information on my cell phone acount on "Orange.fr", when I signed on with may phone number and password, I never get any answer.
Using the same procedure on my Windows Xp laptop a few minutes later, it worked fine.
Trying another time on my Ubuntu Pc to verify, I had the same endless behaviour.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

Hello Pedro,

   As I did'nt have any news about this little problem and as I could
reproduce it when I migrated on Ubuntu 8.10 a few weeks ago, I opened a
new bug which number is 314912. I had too some conversation about this
problem on a Gecko forum and found at last that if I try to start in
"safe mode" or define a new profile, I always had this problem. I tried
then a last test : I defined a new user and used firefox without any
profile modification : It worked fine and I was able to connect to my
"Orange" account.

   So I think the problem is a profile problem, but after trying to
compare the new account Firefox profile and the old one, I'm not able to
 understand where the problem was.

regards,

Yan.
