Cannot Post Comments from FireFox

Whenever I try to post comments on my blog from Firefox, I always get an error telling me I typed the CAPTCHA incorrectly, even though I know I typed it correctly. If I try and post a comment from IE on the same computer it works properly. I have seen this happen on three different computers running firefox.
Any advice on what settings to check/change?
Edit: I am using Version 1.2 with PHP 4.3.7

Hi!
This might be related to a firefox extension that blocks or filters cookies and/or graphics.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I thought it could be an extension as well, so I disabled all extensions and ensured all cookies were allowed, and I still get an error when posting:
Code: Select all

Hi!
If it works in IE and not in Firefox, it must be some Firefox configuration thing. Check your proxies, configuration etc... and also check if you're using the same URL as in your IE.
Since you didn't specify your URL, I can't test it with my firefox

OK, as I was typing in my reply I noticed that I sometimes was including www and sometimes was not.
So it appears if I do not have the WWW, it fails in Firefox every time, but if I include the WWW then it works correctly. Either way I type it in IE, it seems to work.
I guess the easiest solution would be to redirect
http://johnkoerner.net to
http://www.johnkoerner.net .

Hi!
You might want to check your s9y configuration and enable "Autodect HTTP-Hostname". This should then properly make the domain-cookies work!

Thanks Garvin, that seemed to do the trick.
