Cant login to IMDB

Post by King Si » 2026-03-02, 11:35

I no longer able to sign in to www.imdb.vom
Detailes may be important:
I have preserved login cookies of imdb so that I always be signed in.
From yesterday I suddenely signed out from imdb (palmoon and K-meleon Goanna both)
I clicked the sign in option in Palemoon, using "sign in to existing account" at: https://www.imdb.com/registration/signin/?u=
but this did and does nothing, no user nam password page appears.
I also looked at the console log just aglance when copying/pasting here. appareently they changed the cookie format or something related to cookies.
“nsICookieManager2.getCookiesFromHost()” is changed. Update your code and pass the correct originAttributes.
Also I checked "cookies.sqlite" and found all of my imdb (signed-in" related cookies there ( i have set their expiration dates to extended dates).
But still even the presence of cookies, i am no signed in to imdb.com
please consider.

Thank you for your consideration.
In fact I have already read that and searched the forum, specifically the polyfill page.
I have already installed the a Modify HTTP Response filter days ago, however yesterday I noticed this change.
The change is:
Here is some detail:
1- I have installed K-Meleon Goanna (your latest) (thisis for personal attachment decades long) and that i use mainly, I have saved login cookies for years for some websites including IMDB, and have always been signed in on IMDB using K-Meleon Goanna. Palemoon is my second main browser for obvious reasons.

2- A day ago when I opened K-Meleon, I noticed that I was not login-ed anymore, I restored my optimized cookies.sqlite, but no success.

3- So I started Palemoon, it was also signed off from IMDB. I tried to sign in but that button was greyed, as I mentioned earlier. I did the following workarounds:
disabled all ad blockers, deleted cookies.sqlite, temporarily deleted hosts file, cleared cache, and many things and spent hours and hours.

Please pardon me if something is wrongly done from my side.

According to that screenshot MHR is not enabled, thus the filter is not in effect. With the filter enabled I can click the button and see the next page with sign-in options.
