Got the same thing and deleted my cache and cookies for the forum per the instructions I found on a Mozilla support forum... 

     Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

        "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

        "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies" (I deleted all that I found when I did a search for "Bradley")

Works now.

I tossed my cookies and all is well.

STC: FWIW, the ESR Firefox lets us do software testing with new browser versions yearly instead of monthly.

10-4!

I hadn't been on with this computer for a while, so perhaps I missed whatever goofed it up.

What the heck are y'all taking about?

Don't matter.  Just get CHROME.  It rocks.
AND --- The javascript engine is WICKED FAST in CHROME.
(yes, I've timed it).
Awrighten.

As I understand it (and I really don't), Firefox baked our cookies and/or made them too big so, as FLBR said, we had to toss them and make a new batch.

I don't know what y'all are saying here, but I couldn't get in with Chrome just IE. And that has never happened.  Got the same 400 bad request code.

Chrome is not fit for a corporate environment. For consumers, sure, but trying to manage versions and settings and stuff, they are all over the place. Just try disabling the updater. it does what it wants anyway, and resets the settings on every update. We had an app that needed a specific version of chrome, yeah, that didn't work out. And don't get me started on their SSL cert crap!

On our networks, it is verboten!

I had the "400 bad requests" error when I tried Firefox to get on here from work yesterday.  I figured the forum database had crashed and burned. At home using Firefox yesterday evening it was OK.

Same old boring sunny and mild with some showers and breezes.  It's an ugly environment but someone has to live in it or you wouldn't have anyone to feel sorry for.

Adjective
Forbidden, esp. by an authority

I should have said "Chrome is verboten"

I learned that one from Hogan's Heros.

Ahhhh... gotcha...

From an IT development standpoint...
Chrome observes web standards.
Chrome and FF are both generally (much) better than IE in that regard.
99% of everything that doesn't work ---- is an IE issue.

And they took it upon themselves to display an UGLY error message if you access a site with a "weak" (MD5 signed) ssl cert. Even if it is an INTERNAL app.
