Good Lord, this happened to me today too, and I turned off SSL to fix it...I thought I had screwed something up, but NoScript did an update for me just before this too....gonna go check out that link now LOL what a relief to know it wasn't something I did

Switching off "Automatic Secure Cookies Management" under the advanced tab got me up and running again.

Thanx! I'm all fixed.....should be noted that this is the advanced tab under the *NoScript* Options, NOT Firefox Options LMAO so that doofuses like me don't go looking in the wrong place

Sorry about that. My excuse is it was 1AM so I was thinking clearly!

Here's a bit more info from Giorgio's site to help everyone:

Q: Since I've got Automatic Secure Cookie Management enabled I cannot login on some sites. What's happening?
A: Some web sites depend on very complicated domain interrelations and, while they handle sign on on a certain domain through a secure HTTPS channel, they need to propagate authentication across multiple domains which do not support HTTPS. NoScript tries its best to gracefully degrade in these situation which just cannot be protected, but some sites are just too complex not to break and login fails. In this case, you've got two options:

1. If you're in a hurry, disable Automatic Secure Cookie Management, clear your cookies (at least those for the site you're trying to enter) from Firefox's Options|Privacy|Cookies and retry logging in. It should just work.
2. If you've got a few minutes to investigate,
* check your Tools|Error Console output for lines starting with "[NoScript HTTPS] AUTOMATIC SECURE on https://www.somewebsite.com";
* open NoScript Options|Advanced|HTTPS|Cookies and add "*.somewebsite.com" (without the quotes) to the Ignore unsafe cookies... list;
* Close NoScript Options with "OK", clear your cookies (at least those for somewebsite.com) from Firefox's Options|Privacy|Cookies and try to log in.
If, for instance, you can't login on ebay.com, the problem can be fixed adding *.ebay.com to NoScript Options|Advanced|HTTPS|Cookies|Ignore unsafe cookies... and possibly resetting your cookies.

He has also requested as much feedback as possible to help him fix this.

Well you have a way better excuse than me then LOL

I haven't had any problems on other sites so far *knock on wood* but if I do I'll go give my feedback on it :)

As a side note, I came into work this morning, and found NoScript had an update to go from 1.8 to 1.8.1.2

After installing this update, my problems were fixed without modifying NoScript settings at all!

Ya know... Just so you know...

I was just able to get into my site admin today to check it out. It was the security settings. I changed SSL from true to false and I was able to get in to the site and make a purchase.
I looked up my site information and I had been moved to a different server. I made the changes in my configure.php files and im back in business now. Thanks for the help

Well I thought my problem was resolved. I am able to get into my admin/catalog area, and I can get onto my webite, but can not access any secure area there. I contacted my hosting provider and they gave me the correct link to my shared SSL certificate. The certificate seems to run fine in the admin.catalog area but not on the site. They wrote me again and said i have some internal setting in my cart is redirecting users to my home page. Well I didnt change anything on my cart, the only thing that should have changed was the ssl location on their server. Any ideas?

I'm also having this problem

I am not able to resolve my issue with this... is there another possible solution? Maybe I'm just not seeing where to make this change.
