It worked. For the time being, Gnome and this forum works fine. I was logged in when tried both sites. But my plugins are gone.

FireFox 68 on desktop Mint 19.1 Ethernet and laptop Mint 18.3 WiFi. No problem with your site.

if it happens to return, i was going to suggest disabling all add-ons/plugins and then adding them back one at a time. a reset makes sense too and got the job done, but just in case :slight_smile:

It’s back. I did a shutdown. That is all it took. Perhaps something to do with the sync.

The interesting part is Gnome.discourse is behaving exactly the same way.

I will try and update. When I opened the tab this time, the login was active. Same for discourse.gnome. I hope it stays that way :slight_smile:

Another thing to look at might be the saved passwords settings page in Firefox. You may have told Firefox NEVER to remember your password for this page. You can tell if you did that IF when you type in your credentials AND Firefox DOESN’T ask you to remember the password. Also, you might tell if this is the case if Firefox doesn’t fill the in the credentials automatically so that all you have to do is click Login.

The issue is back. Only with itsfoss and gnome.discourse. Maybe, both websites does not offer " Remember me " while login. I will try another browser and see if it exists pan browser.

At the moment, I am try to find a workaround. But as I mentioned, refresh Firefox did work for a small amount of time.
