WTF?
Went to Ebay, found what I wanted, noticed that I had cookies set to
"block all." From the browser menu, chose Tools | Cookie Manager | Use
Default Cookie Permissions.
Website rejects me, says cart is empty, etc. Checked my setting, it
hadn't changed.
I repeated this BS several times, canNOT &^%$% get this program to
revert to default settings. Grrr...
Finally got it to switch to "accept session cookies."
There has to be a bug for this, but I'm too annoyed right now to track
it down. I don't have time for this today.
BTW, I had to accept cookies for THREE different domains before Ebay
would play nice. <sigh>
ebay.com
signin.ebay.com
guestcheckout.payments.ebay.com
You could make the default cookie setting to block all, but then make
exceptions to allow cookies for specific sites. There is an extension
called CS Lite that makes doing that much easier. One has to bump up
the max version for SeaMonkey in the install.rdf file in the .xpi file
to get it to install, but it works well.
Sure, I could do that. But what annoyed me the most was that I kept
selecting "Use Default Cookie Permissions" and SM kept ignoring that
choice. It accepts the other menu options, but ignores that one. The
only way to revert to default is to go into the Cookie Manager itself,
find the domain, and go through the whole rigmarole of telling it to
forget about that domain (which BTW is much more counterintuitive than
it needs to be).
Either the option should be made to work, or it should be taken off the
menu. I really hate telling a program to do something and having it
smile sweetly and ignore me.
