Description Martin Tlustos 2010-10-29 15:57:18 UTC

Version:           0.6.1 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

I have enabled a security feature on facebook which alerts me if facebook is approached from a new/unknown application (like a cellphone, a new browser etc.), so that I can check whether someone else has hacked into my account. Now, every time I connect to facebook using rekonq, it alerts me anew, although I click the "don't ask on this computer" button...
Maybe something can be done about it?

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-22-generic
Compiler: cc

As it seems rekonq by default rejects cookies, even when you select accepting them by defaul. I had to change the policy to ask me every time and then choose accept the cookies. Now it works...

I’m having this problem as well, a related problem to be exact. Firefox would always restore the Facebook start page for me and rekonq does not because it forgets the login. If I’m correct this is intended behavior in rekonq according to the comments in bug #256319. If the cookie policy is what is causing this bug, then maybe we should file a new bug, because rekonq’s default policy isn’t good considering that other browsers do remember logins.

Did you enable the option "Configure rekonq->Network->Cookies->Treat all cookies as session cookies"? Somehow a group of users had this option enabled without knowing about it causing problems like this one...
