Bestbuy.com cookie problems...

Postby Namelessknight » Tue May 03, 2005 2:04 pm

I use FireFox 1.03. And I just tried to go to Bestbuy.com and it came up with a screen saying I need to enable cookies, etc, etc. But they already are, and just to make sure, I added bestbuy as an exception, to accept all cookies. and still no go. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this?

And is this a ploy on BB's part to make everyone use IE? i refuse.

ok, not supposed to be a rant. Thanks for any input...

ok, it is something with my computer. i just tried it on another computer[down at work] and it worked fine.

i recently downloaded and installed browser sentinal 2 and ran it and then uninstalled it. it was WAY too powerful for someone like me :) oh crap. i'll probably have to do a restore. blast-o-matic....


And I did a restore. and still nothing. and it seems to be only the bestbuy site too.

I tried the link with Firefox and zipped straight through. What is your cookie setting? I tend to be liberal and kill them at the end of the day with ZoneAlarm...

I'd order it online at your office, and if you run into that on any other sites, contact your ISP.

PS. Don't you have a best buy in your local area? :)
