 Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2008 9:52 pm Post subject: ie 7 and firlefox only allow 6 charactors on login screens |
 |
|
so... at yahoo mail login, or bankamerica, etc., 6 charactors go in fine,
and on the 7th it loads the page as if the username and password were
entered and then denies access to the site.. This is on a 6 year old HP
laptop running xp home. Everything else works. Only logins are acting
goofy. I cleaned it up with ccleaner, uninstalled firefox2, installed
firefox 3, ran avg 8 twice, ran avg 8 form safe mode, seached the net, and
came up with no solutions. anybody hear of this before?
TIA

Never heard about it. Maybe you turned on auto-complete password option?
Also if you uninstall sometimes the user directory data stays intact.
Delete temporary internet files, internet cache, uninstall firefox,
search for firefox files, back them up and then delete those firefox
files, then re-install firefox. |

I agree with jaster, I've never heard of that problem before.
You could try typing username and password into a text editor and fill out the form
via copy&paste. Of course that's an annoying solution, but it may be a workaround
until you found the cause of the problem.
Godd luck,
Dennis |

Try Internet Explorer
at least you will narrow down whether or not you have a global problem
or if it's with Firefox... |

LOL
Not until after I posted (typical foolishness)
sorry about that!
It's one of those things where I'd probably take the "system restore" option |

Hey, thanks for the replys!
I still don't know what's doing it, but by using an
external keyboard plugged into the PS2 port, it
works normally so I think it may have something to
do with the keyboard.
Thanks again,
Al

Even though my "advice" was useless...
I am glad you have at least narrowed down the problem!
