This is my Wells Fargo account. I've
never had a problem signing on to my account before. How do I change my browser to accept cookies?

just so you will know I added Opera and Safari to my pc .I know that's alot of browsers I was just curios about Opera and Safari. I still have Firefox and Chrome.World start used to open up in Firefox now it opens up in Opera.
Do you think getting rid of Opera might be an easy way to fix the problem?
Thanks CB

First need to know what browser you are using to access your bank account.

[jholland1964]

Every single browser you would use to access the account would have to have cookies allowed. Pick one and stick with it when you access this account then you won't have to do it again.
I would choose Firefox, if your bank website will accept it. It is the most secure one you have I believe.
If Opera is now opening all the time you likely have set it as your default browser. Whatever browser you choose as default will be the one that opens.

Internet Options > click Privicy tab > add your address of your bank site > click allow

OOps I think I kind of wasted everybody's time Wells Fargo sent me a Gmail to tell me that my statement is ready I opened up the gmail,and clicked on the blue link that took me to Wells Fargo where I saw the message that I pasted into the post I sent.

I just now went to Wells Fargo by clicking on my Wells Fargo desktop shortcut.
It opened up in Opera,and I can get to my statement no problem.

I apologize for not trying it both ways before I bothered all of you CB

What Judy said.

For important websites like banking, pick one browser and stick to it. And also pick one default browser and stick to it.

Every time you switch browsers you have to consider default browser settings and cookie settings. If you want to experiment, fine, but it's not as simple as just opening a different browser.

I would run a scan with Superantispyware and pick up any tracking cookies you might have accrued with possible wrong settings in all those browsers and as already mentioned, look at your cookie settings in all those browsers

I ran everything full scan last night before I went to bed. Spybot S&D or Supoeranti... (Sorry I don't remember which one for sure) found Adware and something called Hunter Stoolbar.

since I ran a full scan with Superanti...last night.Do I need to do it again?

Mike I have no idea haw to look for a cookie setting in a browser

Thanks for jumping in to help. As you always do CB

You know how to use Google, do it for the cookie settings for the other browsers.You DO NOT want to allow third party cookies. Here are the ones for IE and Firefox .Too much having all of those and using them all, too many settings to make sure are correct if you ask me...Learn everything you can about one browser, preferably Firefox and use that one, just have another one as backup in case of problems.

IE cookie settings

For IE7 & IE8
Go to Tools, Internet Options, General Tab, Browsing History. Make sure the dot is in Everytime I Visit the Webpage
Set the disk space to use to no more than 50MB...I have mine set at 15MB. I have history set to 7 days, but this is your choice.
Next go to the Privacy Tab.
Click Advanced button right there in the middle
Put a check mark in Override Automatic Cookie Handling
Put a dot in Accept 1st Party Cookies and Block 3rd Party Cookies
A check mark in Accept Session Cookies.
Ok, yourself all the way out.

If you have used those browser today, you could have trackers

Then perhaps it would be a good idea to concentrate on one browser at a time AND LEARN IT instead of messing around with five of them.

Cookies are an integral part of web browsing. It's the second setting I look for in any browser (default browser being the first).

Mike; I'm going to get rid of the new browsers,and just stick the ones I've had for a while. Firefox and Google Chrome. cookies should already be set where there supposed to be in them.Although I am going to learn how to set them using your instructions So I'll know how in the future. Thanks again CB

[MikeN.]

Dont know about Chrome but by default Firefox is set to accept 3rd party cookies, dont assume anything, check it out

So I just exit out and then go back to make sure I am not still logged in...wonder why this is the only one I have had any problems with? Thanks for any help anyone might have.

Hi Tuffy...
I don't use Hotmail, so I am of no help. I suggest that you start a new thread with your problem....as many more people will see it and offer help.
