[wp-testers] Can't login with Fx3.0.1

[Kirk M]

Upon seeing your comment here I updated my locally installed WordPress 
Sandbox to 2.6, upgraded the DB when prompted and the login continued 
with no problems, logged in fine. The only things I may have done 
differently is that I never overwrite directories and files during an 
upgrade with the exception of the root files, they're safe enough to 
overwrite. I've had more WP bloggers tell me that an upgrade borked 
their site, the admin's all "messed up" etc, and 9 times out of 10 they 
overwrote files and directories during a major upgrade. Once they go 
back and delete "wp-admin" and "wp-includes" entirely and then upload 
the new versions of those directories and overwirte the root files again 
just in case and everytime (so far) things are fine after that.

I also replaced my current "wp-config.php" with the 2.6 
"wp-config-sample.php" after copying over my username and password data 
and then renaming to "wp-config". The format of the 2.6 "wp-config.php" 
has been changed again even though it really shouldn't keep you from 
logging in if you used an older one.

Not saying this is your problem, just pointing out what I did differently.

Other than that it really looks like Firefox 3.0.1 is not getting the WP 
cookie required to log in which is the only reason you could log into 
your admin with IE and not Firefox that I can think of.

By the way, what version of WP did you upgrade over?
