@meetdilip as @01101111 has said in not so many words, we need more detail than you have given thus far to help you. Without that any help will only be subjective which is pretty pointless. So if you could supply more information it would help the community to help you :grinning:

Firefox on 18.04 Ubuntu

I have other forums in different tabs ( some of them Discourse ), no issue in any of them. Yes, I allow cookies.

Do you have ‘Autofill logins and passwords’ ticked in Firefox -> Logins and Passwords?

which version of FireFox ? I never use it, but I know it was updated recently, so perhaps that is causing the problem. Also there was a minor outage on here the other day, which was soon solved and wasn’t worth mentioning.
If you have another browser and are about to sign in as you do, then you will know it is a Firefox problem

Do you login with GitHub, Facebook, email account, etc or with specific user and password for this forum?

You’re right!
I had not noticed that the Firefox has a recent version

I cannot reproduce it on Chrome and Firefox. Does anyone else has similar problem?
