Firefox addon says "not authorized"

MWmouse

I just joined the site, but the addon keeps telling me I am not logged in. I have to go through the website to update my episodes or anything else. Any idea what is going on?

This shouldn’t happen normally, but I could suggest a few basic things to try:

  • Upgrade your Firefox in case it’s outdated
  • Don’t log out on the website (stay logged in because the add-on uses the same login)
  • Disable all other extensions to try if another extension is causing something bad
  • If you are using some sort of crazy security settings in Firefox, try resetting them to the default
  • Clear your browser cache by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Del

It works for most people, so there might be something special about your setup.

In my case it was Ghostery. For some reason, that addon blocks functionality.

That makes perfect sense, since logging out gives you privacy by definition. And it’s a privacy extension. Glad you found the culprit though :)
