It won't let me in to my gmail account, keeps saying I need to enable cookies. I did it just like the instructions said. I even cleared the cache a couple different times. When you email me back with an answer I still won't be able get in to read it. Please email my husbands account with an answer. Thank-you. sir.rooleus@gmail.com (he is at a different computer)

Um, please check your Gmail using a different browser for the time being!
Google sites may require "third party" cookies. See the article linked by FredMcD to enable those.
Do you know whether local storage, also known as DOM storage, is blocked on your Firefox? Some sites may indicate that cookies are blocked if local storage is blocked. You can check Firefox's internal setting here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste stora and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the dom.storage.enabled preference is bolded and "user set" to false, double-click it to restore the default value of true
If that setting is okay, could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? In Safe Mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.
If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
- Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).
Any improvement? (More info: Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox)
