Firefox and UHM

Post by gasspark »

I normally only enter The UHM site with Internet explorer, because I could never get logged in, yet I used a link in a email while in firefox and got logged in, any ideas why

You must have logged in at some point with Firefox and it keeps the UHM log-in cookie so it will have just opened UHM with you logged in when you went to the site using Firefox.

Remember that cookies are not browser based and so the cookie that logs you in will do it with any browser.
