Session Variables in Firefox

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hello,

I am using ASP/VBScript. For some reason, Firefox will not pass my session
variables, while IE and Netscape will. I can't imagine what's wrong.

I was able to recreate the problem with the two test pages below. I tested
these pages in the three aformentioned browsers:

FFTEST1.ASP

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Page 1</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
</head>
<body>
<% Session("fftest") = "Hello!" %>
<p><a href="fftest2.asp">Go to second page >>></a></p>
</body>
</html>


FFTEST2.ASP

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Page 2</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
</head>
<body>
<% = Session("fftest") %>
</body>
</html>


What could the problem possibly be?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Take a look at the privacy options does it allow sites to set cookies.
Session variables depend on a session cookie for identification.
