    I just discovered that I get a Error 403 dialog when I try to access my Dashboard. I get the message when I have filled my username/password and pressed the submit button. Strangely though, I am able to access my Dashboard through Internet Explorer but not through Firefox.

    I accessed my Dashboard from my home PC quite successfully yesterday. I contacted my host provider to see if my office IP has been blocked for some reason, and he answered in the negative. I haven’t yet accessed my admin panel from another machine in the office using FF. Does anybody know the solution?

    I Love my Firefox very dearly. Can’t think about any other browser touching my WP ??

    oh my golly. With this FF, were you ever able to get to your admin? If so, disable anything recently added.

    If not… Hmm… well, if I was going to start with disable a handful, I guess I’d lean towards:

    35. NoScript{1.1.4.3}
    51. Fasterfox{1.0.3}
    54. CoolirisPreviews{1.8}
    57. DownThemAll{0.9.9.6.3}
    59. GooglePreview{1.3.3}

    But hell, you might be better off disabling all and then enabling in blocks of 5 until you narrow it down.

    Oh heck…I just did that exercise a few days back ?? Some damn extension was not behaving properly, so had to start FF in safe mode and diasble everything. Then enabled everything. I will do it once again.

    HS, you have any information on how I can enable the extensions in blocks of 5 or whatever number? To my knowledge, you can select only one extension at a time. Is there some hack available for selecting groups? let me know. It will make life easier ??

    Wish I did. I usually enable 5 (one by one), restart Firefox and have a look.

    Hi, I disabled a few extensions and now it’s working fine. Just won’t be able to pin-point which one was causing the error. Thanks HS for all the help ??

    Glad you got it working. ??

    Happy Blogging!

    PowLow – Your wp-admin/edit.php trick work very well with me, I just installed wordpress at work and I wonder if this 403 will also happen at home.

    Thank you

    EDIT – I just tried anything else and it gives me the 403 again… I cant even view the blog
