About 2-3 months ago I started having problems logging out of my account for my website...both as admin and as just a regular user. This seems to be a Firefox issue and possible a caching issue although clearing cache doesn't always fix the problem...

I have clean URLs on...and sometime if i go from /logout to /?=logout it may work but not always...

Wondering if anyone else has this problem and if they fixed it...and how...

thanks

My issue is identical however with an additional caveat. When I attempt to log out Drupal tries to take me to a node that no longer exists..

I initially started working with the "Front Page" module to redirect anonymous and authenticated users to different home nodes. I decided to disable the module in favor of using views with roles/permissions assigned to them so content would be available depending upon the users role. I created an anonymous user "index" node by granting the "front page" node anonymous permissions....

Now to the error... When I attempt to log out my standard user Drupal fails to log me out and kicks me to a "access denied" and refers to a node I have deleted a long time ago.

This issue does not happen in Safari and IE, just Firefox....

I have deleted my cookies and verified the default "front page" points to a node that anonymous users are authorized to view...

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance!

I have a similar problem, although I was redirected to the logout path and the message 'access denied' appeared. On returning to the home page of my site I noticed that the Administration menu was still visible, although clicking on any entiries produced an 'access denied', which I was actually quite relieved to see.

Interestingly the admin menu is only displayed on the home paqe. All the other pages are fine.

It's basically impossible for me to get the number of authenticated users down to zero.

Must be some sort of caching issue as the problem isn't evident in IE.

I have the exact same problem, and it appears not only in Firefox, but in Chrome to.

Try flushing the cache.

Admin >> Site Configuration >> Performance >> Flush Cache.

I had the same problem and solved it disabling the site cache.

Now my visitors can log out, regardless of using Firefox or Chrome....and still I can have the cache turned on (really useful if a lot of anonymous users visit)

The solution was in the header (Firefox and obviously Chrome does it differently then IE)

A big thanks to mikeytown2, the one posing in the solution
