I am currently logged in on Wikipedia and Wikidata, but I can't log in on Meta or Commons. When I press log in-link at the top right corner, it takes me back to the home page without logging me in. I am still logged in on Wikipeadia and Wikidata, but not on Meta or Commons. I attach a video-screenshot of what happens. 1. I show that I am logged in on WIkipedia. 2. I press log in at the top of Meta. 3. I get back to the home page of Met, not logged in. 4. I press log in at the top of Meta again. 5. I quickly press the green "log in"-button. 6. I get back to the home page of Met, not logged in. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I talked with hoo on IRC, this is the transcript: [...] <hoo> Josve05a: Try pressing F5 maybe CentralAuth logged you in in the background ;) <Josve05a> nope [...] <hoo> are you logged in globally alreadY? <Josve05a> yes [...] <Josve05a> I am logged in on wikipedia <Josve05a> and wikidata <Josve05a> but not commons or meta <hoo> that shouldn't happen <hoo> usually just a click on log in should log you in, no need to put your data <Josve05a> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/81.236.232.15 <<< I edited with my IP. That's when I noticed I wasn't logged in <Josve05a> started on 17 June or so... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0a1

If I enter "modile mode" of the webpage, I can log in. But then if I go to the "normal mode" of e.g. Meta, I am still not logged in.
Does this problem also happen with another browser?
No. I can log in on Chrome, but then if I switch back to Firefox, I am still not logged in on that browser. This only happens to websites that are ****.wikimedia.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.153 Safari/537.36
Sounds like an issue with cookies to me then and something to fix in your Firefox browser...
I tried again. This time it said "Wikimedia Commons uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again." I have cookies enabled....
I got it to work! I had to clear all(!) my cookies...didn't think of that! (Stupid me!)
