I experimented with this a bit, and found that I could eliminate the footer on my public (browsable) list on the same server. So I tried converting my other private (non-browsable) list to be browsable, at which point I could eliminate the footer, and then switch the list back to being non-browsable.
You said in a reply that on this list you actually needed to set the list `public` before you could successfully change msg_footer.
But once I tried to implement the workaround on the non-browsable list I wanted to change, I got the same defective behaviour when trying to switch the list to be browsable -- I would get redirected to the admin login page for the list in question, log in successfully, only to come back and find myself on the same privacy page, with no changes having been made.
This is quit strange. The behavior you observe is a result of your login cookie being lost. I could conjecture that there's something in the browser that's not saving the cookie when this list's name is in the URL, but the fact that you can make some changes to the other list including switching it from private to public but can change msg_footer only when it's public belies that.
I have also posted this as a bug via the Mailman launchpad. This behaviour appears to be browser-independent; I have tried it on Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.
More confirmation that it's not a browser issue. I have added a comment to your bug report to see this thread.
Do you know how Mailman is installed on the server? Is it from source or a third party package? I can't see anything in the admin UI code that would effectively log you out upon submission of an update form, but this is what's happening. Either your login cookie is being removed or for some reason, not being saved.
Normally, I would suspect the issues in the FAQ at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030614>, but those normally affect all changes to all lists, so that may not be relevant here.
