Arun 795 Report post Posted August 12, 2007 This issue has been fixed now. There was a compatibility issue between Invision Power Board and the latest FireFox version. Thanks for informing about it. (Vishal, hope you found it out now ! ) IPB strips the ability in Firefox to retrieve the cookies via javascript. This is done as an added protection against XSS attacks that are presently unknown (in other words, we know of no current XSS attacks - however if one were to get through, this would prevent the attack from being able to get your sensitive cookie data, which is typically the goal of an XSS attack). Google is trying to access the cookies, which we prevent. Outside of Google updating their code, which is unlikely, there is little that can be done. The block of code that was previously posted in this report can be deleted entirely (the entire if statement and code inside it) - just note that this added protection will be missing in Firefox. In IE it is not necessary, because IE supports the "http-only" flag. As of version 2.0.0.5, Firefox also supports the http-only flag, so the javascript is a bit redundant for more recent versions of Firefox anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
