Change Details

Lately I often get error "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try saving your changes again. If it still does not work, try logging out and logging back in. " while saving edits on EN-WIKI. In the past on a rare occasion when I got this error I could just press save again and it would work. This time multiple saves do not help nor relogging. I suddenly can not edit at all on any pages. I did some experiments trying to understand the issue, and it seems like I can use tools that edit the page in my name. The only workaround I found was to switch browsers. I usually edit in Firefox and I switch to Chrome.{F4875601} ---- This is Firefox bug [[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1319403|#1319403]] (cookie limits seem to be applied to the second-level domain). Workaround: set `network.cookie.maxPerHost` as an integer much higher in Firefox's `about:config` menu. To create, from `about:config`, right click, select `New` and choose `integer`, then enter the name `network.cookie.maxPerHost`, then enter a value and save. (Thought bubble: estimate 5+ cookies per wiki)

Workaround: set `network.cookie.maxPerHost` as an integer much higher in Firefox's `about:config` menu. Specifically: # Open a new tab or window # type or paste `about:config` and click [Enter]. (There might be a warning screen after this) # right click anywhere in the table of results # select `New` # select `Integer` # type or paste `network.cookie.maxPerHost` as the preference name, and click [ok] # type a value (see below), and click [ok] # Done! ** (You might need to reload the page, or re-log-in, or restart your browser, for the fix to start working. But probably not.) Value: any number between 200 and 2000 should work fine. Estimate 5+ cookies per wiki, and only count the project (e.g. Wiktionary) that you access the most languages of.
