    Don't have an answer but Comrade, with love, why would you ever visit Hexbear on a work PC? The boss owns that shit, keep your work and personal life separate so they don't have dirt on you.

    Something might be messing with your cookies. On firefox there is a setting that deletes your cookie history on exit, you may want to check if you have enabled that or if you have enabled icognito by default.

    50% chance you have an extension that is fucking with the cookie. Other 50% chance is that its a lemmy bug with the way its stores cookies.

    Try

    1. Delete all hexbear cookies, localStorage, cache, etc
    2. Disable all browser extensions

    iOS Firefox has been doing the same thing for me! The Safari web app I normally use doesn’t have that issue, but when I use Firefox it does.

        I see a feature listed on their paid version claiming it "Blocks web trackers from collecting your data" so try adding hexbear.net to its whitelist?

      Way back when (early 2024), i think you had to clear your browser cache to fix this issue, give that a try

        I think it's been longer than that. I hadn't been able to log in at all without incognito mode for well over a year.

          Deleting all cookies from hexbear/chapochat was the fix iirc. I had to use an addon called EditThisCookie2 in order to do it properly though

            Yeah, I fixed it by clearing my cache for the page. I also had to do some incantations and sacrifice a lamb.

    Does the same thing happen in private mode/incognito? That'll test the effect of clearing your cookies and disabling extensions at the same time

    edit: Maybe this bug report is related? Although I've been using Firefox 129 for a week or two with no problem.

    Yeah same (Firefox Developer Edition 130.0b9), remember logged in doesn't work, have to log in Hexbear again if I close the tab. Lemmy/Lemmygrad works fine though.
