Hello Robert,
that's exactly the problem: as Carol also explained in her posting, even with cookies enabled in Firefox, one is NOT able to buy, log in or otherwise access any of the customer pages - you're never taken to the cart or appropriate log-in pages but get thrown to the cookies_usage page. Apparently, "Jackandersen" had a solution . Unfortunately, he PM'ed his solution directly to Carol as one can infer from his posting direckty after the quoted posting from Carol. Any ideas!
Jon
