I have upgraded my drupal 6.15 to drupal 6.17 after that i am unable to login in my website from firefox, i am able to login from IE,Chrome.

See What i have tried so far but none of this solutions works,

1) I have cleared cache & sessions table from db
2) I have cleared browser cache & sessions
3) I have tried to set cookie domain
4) as I am using Boost module, i have cleared boost cache.

I can confirm that I am also seeing this problem on all versions of drupal since 6.17. I can therefore not upgrade from 6.16 until this issue has been resolved.

I am surprised that others haven't commented on this issue, as there must be many developers that use Firefox.

After upgrading to 6.19 resolved my issue.

That's very strange. I am still seeing the issue in 6.19. I literally copy drupal-6.16 and I'm able to login, as soon as I copy either drupal-6.17, 6.18 or 6.19 - I am then unable to login using Firefox. I've tried clearing caches etc, but no difference.

Sorry, I've found a post that discusses these issues and discovered that I need to create a $cookie_domain entry in my settings.php. Very frustrating, but glad to have fixed it now.

Me too. It seems that other browsers are working normally, but all of a sudden today, I am unable to login using Firefox. I thought I had been hacked, since I could not access normal menus or /admin
I tried the $cookie_domain but that didn't help and I don't have multiple domains anyway.
Then I found this post and tried other browsers which worked.

I can't believe this is Drupal core, but the behavior is hard to explain.
Login takes me to the user view page for my user name, but I have no edit tab for my own user (1). Unable to use /logout
Blocks for anonymous users still show up. Wierd.

Now I find that this problem is limited to one computer running Firefox 3.6.12. My other laptops don't have the problem. Same laptop has Firefox 4.0 beta 6 which is able to login OK along with Chrome and IE. So it doesn't seem to be a Drupal issue. But it persists even after clearing cache and after a full shutdown.
