Computer help please.

I got a laptop (Dell with Vista operating system) today and am having a bit of a problem. I have cookies enabled but I''m unable to post on PS while using Firefox. I CAN post through Internet Explorer (with cookies enabled). Any ideas??

TIA.

logout and clear cookies and try it again.
if that don't work uninstall and reinstall firefox

I''ve cleared cookies and uninstalled/reinstalled. Still no go. My computer has crashed a couple times and I''ve contacted Dell. They just told me that one of the memory boards is bad. they''re sending me a new one. Could that be the problem??

it could be if you have file system corruption from the crashes.

Are you using any firefox addons?

I''ve only installed firefox and the google toolbar. Everything else was installed when I received it from Dell. I don''t frequent other forums, but PS seems to be the only place I''ve had problems.
