When I've used the SeaMonkey browser to log into various sites, it's
been opening Internet Explorer, my default browser, to the same
log-in page, and I could log in there. Then I made SM my default
browser--now, when I enter my log-in name and password, that same
log-in page opens in a new tab but nothing else happens.
I'm running V2.32 under Win 7 x64.
Looping on login is usually due to a failure to accept a site's cookies.
Most webmasters assume all users accept all cookies all the time and
don't bother to check or tell us what's wrong.
Do Tools | Cookie Manager and make sure the setting isn't "Block all
cookies from this site." If not, double-check by doing Tools | Cookie
Manager | Manage Stored Cookies and confirming that you do have cookies
from the site in question.
If the setting IS "Block all cookies from this site," it should be
possible to simply click the preferred setting, but for the past few
years that hasn't worked for me (SM ignores my choice). In that case, do
Tools | Cookie Manager | Manage Stored Cookies, right-click the domain
name on the left, and choose "Forget about this domain." Then the next
time you visit (e.g., when you reload), SM will apply your default
cookie policy from Edit | Preferences | Privacy & Security | Cookies.
(Of course, if your default policy is to reject all cookies, that won't
help -- then you do have to set a special policy for the domain)
