Why does my computer not let me log on to Facebook? This drives me insance. I have it as a trusted site, it still blocks it and re-directs me. Any clues?

Totally ignorant on Facebook.

I’ll assume that you are a registered user.

Cookies?

I have no idea.

Directs to an odd site. Just use malware.com in the bar? I will try that.

You should direct your question to the local Sheriff’s Office. Half the people on Facebook are undercover agents posing as underage females.

Shyla, clear your cookies. Go to Tools, Options, then Clear Cookies. This is a frequent problem if your using Firefox. I always have to clear my cookies for FR, YouTube, and Yahoo.

That's MySpace you're talking about. Facebook is more mature, there's not a lot of sex trafficking on that site.

Will it work with Internet Explorer? If so, then you know it;s a FF issue.

Keep going straight until you get to a fork in the road, then turn.

CCleaner is good at cleaning out junk and cookies, and it's free.

Another way to clear out your temp files is to go to Start>Run>then type in the box: %temp%>select all>delete.

You have to post a poll and add 100 friends on Facebook before you can log in. Thats how I found out.

It’s under the “General” tab under “browsing history” after you click “Internet Options” on Tools. Click “delete” tab beside “browing history”, a window will open that lists “cookies” among other things that you might want to delete. Click “delete” beside the “cookies” tab then “ok”.

That will delete your cookies.
