Hi Massimo, Anthony,
Thanks for your replies. I mistakenly thought that it was the "Tell
websites I do not want to be tracked" option that caused the registration
to fail - it was actually because the "Accept cookies from sites" Firefox
option was disabled.
Taking Anthony's suggestion, I tried adding some Javascript to
applications\welcome\views\default\user.html
if (!navigator.cookieEnabled)
{
alert("Session cookies appear to be disabled. Please enable them in
your browser settings to be able to register an account.")
}
