I have allowed all third-part cookies always, yet Microsoft Office still asks me to allow cookies; what can I do?
Upon attempting to activate my Microsoft Office account, I am greeted with the message in the attached image, preventing me from proceeding. This is despite me having allowed all third-party cookies always in firefox browser (Windows 8 OS) and repeatedly trying the same activation with no success.
Thanks in advance.

If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Cookies https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Deleting+cookies
