Can't log out of website
I tried to log out of a website but found myself still logged in. Tried to log out several times, even closed Firefox and restarted, but was still logged in. I complained to the site's web support folks who pointed the finger at my browser. I tried the site with Safari and, sure enough, was logged out. If Firefox is the culprit what do I have to do to ensure I can log out of any site I visit? Thanks.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
