You open NL at in FF. You then open NL in another session - either in a new tab or a separate copy of FF which you then use all day with comment counts updating correctly. You then close that session and when you next flick to FF you notice New Links is open. You click a comment link. This then writes that (teh old) session's cookie, overwriting the other session's more recent one and hey presto - a comment count that doesn't work. This can definitely happen - I tested extensively last night and can replicate this easily.
It could have been similar thing with having IE and FF open together. I certainly didn't have a problem as you described it when I moved over.
Except for one thing. It appears IE and FF are using different cookies totally. Close all browsers. Open one instance of each,use them for a bit and see the difference. PARP!
I'm sorry I don't believe you can categorically state you haven't had multiple copies of NL open. It's very easy to get confused over the tabbed stuff especially for someone as simple minded as you.
No whinges from anyone else at all on this subject yet several of us are using FF 0.91. The problem is definitely at your end and I'm not taking your wild 'guess' that it is a corrupt cookie import. How much javascript/cookie/web/FF/IE programming have you done to enable you to back up your supposition with experience? That's what I thought. STFU.
And you can help yourself with any 'major' problems like incredibly complex procedure of installing the BlogThis button as seen as your intellect is so vastly superior to mine.
No I don't count knowledge of BlogThis! as proof of higher intelligence. I do however attach some weight to trying to solve problems yourself rather than being spoonfed all the solutions. I had need of the BlogThis solution myself and went and found the answer.
Yes my theory is extremely simple. But then so are you. Just because a theory is simple doesn't mean it's wrong. I do however know I know more than you about all the issues involved except the shite at your end. You stick with your theory and I'll stick with mine.
You have just demonstrated your inability to read or comprehend written English again.
Please quote me the exact line where I said anything about Java (that's a capital J btw - Java being a pronoun) which seems to be main thrust of your response. Whilst you are quoting can you give me the source of the quote 'wonderful' which you have quoted in your comment at 1:48pm. Thought not.
And I don't refuse to accept a simple explanation (I thought we weren't allowed 'simple' solutions?) I just refuse to accept simple explanations from simpletons. They're not worth a fscking light mate.
I got no such message about cookie imports but it's nice of you to shed light on that dialog you got several hours into the debate. I didn't realise I had to have the ability to read warnings on your screen. If I'd known about that I may well have come to the same conclusion as you. Let that be a lesson to Mikey: Omissions are just as bad as talking shite.
Go take it up with the mozilla crew. Whatever you decide to do - sort it out yourself. My setup works. Boohoo for you.
Of course it was pedantic you fsckwit - you were putting words in my mouth which I didn't say. This had to be pointed out.
I've said it before and I'll say it again but pedantry (or attention to detail) is a programmer. Maybe that's why you are still writing in Basic? Nice, simple language for a nice, simple lad.
And I'm going to be pedantic again. If you had made any mention of the cookie warning from FF this conversation could (and probably would) have taken a wholly different turn. Your cluebait error reporting it made it impossible to diagnose correctly. I even asked specific (pedantic?) questions about the problem in the comments yesterday but got no reply , meaningful or otherwise. My compewter's broke!
Couldn't be bothered to answer a question that was asking specifics of your problem so I could help you? I think you've just shown the depths of your ignorance.
I must have had 21 instances open not long ago. Everyone is looking for the Women of Walmart and hitting the old post. I've put a link on that to the follow up. Giving the punters what they want. Or something.

Dupe! :)
DOH! Just doing Bungers job in his absence ;)

I have a different scenario for you.
NL: New Links
FF: Firefox
You open NL at in FF. You then open NL in another session - either in a new tab or a separate copy of FF which you then use all day with comment counts updating correctly. You then close that session and when you next flick to FF you notice New Links is open. You click a comment link. This then writes that (teh old) session's cookie, overwriting the other session's more recent one and hey presto - a comment count that doesn't work. This can definitely happen - I tested extensively last night and can replicate this easily.

I stand by the above scenario. Idiot. :)
Oh and we know simple things elude you anyway so they have to be said explicitly - usually more than once.
Proof? ok - 1,2 & 3. No further questions your honour. :)
So I'm skirting it how exactly?

I'm sorry but I just can't seem to see the correlation between

and my request for quotes.

Being a fascist I have now sent my pint to a death camp.
Yeah they are all gayers. Bungers has a valid excuse for change though so we'll let him off.
Right I'm off for Japanese food and beer.
