<ul></ul><p>Since this is a live system (on which I rely for Internet access), I cannot easily reproduce the issue with the same hardware. If need be, however, I may be able to run tests with a VM.</p> pfSense - Bug #8368: Cannot log into webConfigurator from Firefox/Linux after fresh installhttps://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8368?journal_id=360792018-03-13T20:09:19ZJim Pingle
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>Rejected</i></li></ul><p>There is no such problem with pfSense itself. That is a client side issue.</p> pfSense - Bug #8368: Cannot log into webConfigurator from Firefox/Linux after fresh installhttps://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8368?journal_id=360832018-03-14T12:38:17ZMichael von Glasowmichael@vonglasow.com
<ul></ul><p>I would agree about this being a client side issue if logins were to fail for every web site I visit. However, this is not the case—pfSense so far has been the only place which had this issue.</p>
<p>Most likely the cause lies somewhere in the interaction between the two systems. Maybe the response from pfSense is botched and other browsers are just more tolerant of it, or maybe it is indeed a bug in the browser. Or something in between—we just don’t know until we investigate.</p>
<p>Would it help if I filed a bug for Firefox?</p> pfSense - Bug #8368: Cannot log into webConfigurator from Firefox/Linux after fresh installhttps://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8368?journal_id=360842018-03-14T12:50:35ZJim Pingle
<ul></ul><p>Until it's proven to be a bug on pfSense (after discussion on the forum, subreddit, etc) then it doesn't belong here. It's not clear if it's a Firefox issue, specifically, either.</p>
<p>We use lots of Linux desktops and VMs internally and use new installs constantly for testing. If it was broken in this way, there would be many, many instances of failure that we could reproduce. It is undoubtedly something local to you, but you need to discuss it in a discussion platform to narrow down possible causes.</p>
