Help! I can no longer login to my account in Firefox 10.0.2. Is there a solution? Currently running Windows XP64 Pro.
I'm logged in in 10.0.2 now.
On rare occasion the "Account Login" button goes missing from the main page for me (not just this version of FF) but either going to another page or waiting and coming back later, makes it appear.

Can you not get the "Account Login" button or is it another problem?
Turn off Adblock on gog.com. Otherwise you get all kinds of problems.
Clear your cache and cookies and try again.
FF... 10? wow, fast.

Indeed, the developers have been cranking out new versions of firefox every single month for quite some time now. Firefox 10 is more like 4.8 or so...

I do get the Account Login button, I did not notice earlier it has a small key superimposed below that says "Me". If I put in an incorrect user/password, it will error as normal, but when put in correctly it does (apparently) nothing in Firefox.

I don't believe that I have Adblock, I assume that it is an extension for Firefox?

Thanks, cleared most of the recent history, and it worked.

You know what I've learned about "no thanks" buttons over the past few forevers? Well, both Firefox and Wells Fargo have taught me that they don't do anything differently from "ask me later" buttons, and that the former seems to do whatever the hell it damn well pleases regardless of your approval, should you let your guard down. Nevermind any broken add-ons, the smaller re-arranged buttons, and the fact that the tabs are ABOVE the search and bookmark toolbar by default, it knows better than you do and recognizes that anything other than "update now" is due entirely to soft, squishy, clumsy, simple-minded human error that is best left ignored for their own sake and the sake of progress.

I think it's like the stoplight intersection and elevator door close buttons; they're not electronically linked to anything at all (or in the case of "no thanks" buttons, there's no actual code assigned to it), and they exist only to make idiots feel a little more secure through the illusions of choice and power.

Well that's the whole point, no thanks is a one-off offer for that particular session. If you want to set a definitive behaviour for that action use the Don't ask me again button.
Is 11 out yet?

You can use addons, settings and/or about:config tweaks to make the latest Firefox version look and behave exactly way you want. I use UI Fixer and Status-4-Evar to keep Firefox 10 looking exactly like Firefox 3.5 (or whatever version that was before the overhauls began). These are just the ones that worked for me; there are various others that may be better for your purposes depending on what specific things you're wanting to retain.

It's disappointing that addons are needed to regain culled look and feel options but this way you get Firefox the way you want it without being stuck with an end-of-line version that is inevitably going to be abandoned by addon developers.

Yes, I know. Part of my problem involves not being bothered to tweak things, not being bothered to move on to and grow accustomed to another browser, supposed fixes to make incompatible addons work in newer versions of Firefox didn't seem to do anything, and the fact that, if there's an option to disable auto-updating and nagging, I haven't been bothered to find and enable it yet.

There's a pattern here, yes, but my point is that part of the problem (the part that doesn't involve my own sloth and apathy) involves the fact that "no thanks" is supposed to translate to "piss off, I don't want any, no soliciting, leave me alone, nobody is here, sorry, I'm dead" not "pester me about it when I've hopefully forgotten that I clicked 'no thanks' and not 'ask me later', and if that doesn't work, fuck the user, just do it anyway, we know better, it's for his own good, it's inevitable, and ultimately he won't really mind if we make the next update after this one so much worse that the current one seems great by comparison, just like every layout overhaul of his favorite websites".

Reading comprehension failed on my part, I was thinking you were talking about the password saving dialogue as that would be the closes related thing to the OPs post.

Also, update your fucking browser! :P Security is extremely important.

Ah, now I get where you're coming from. To disable update checking go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Update and choose the option there. It's semi-hidden because as with OS updates it's not something the average user should be overriding.
