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.

I am glad I found this thread. I was wondering why IMDB site does not work with Palemoon and Basilisk. It worked when I had Palemoon v29 and Basilisk's older version. But any time I update the browsers, some(thing) or some sites does not work (properly) - ESPECIALLY Cloudflare's (so called) security check.

By the way, I use Firefox ONLY when a site does really not work with Palemoon/Basilisk. Like IMDB, Youtube, Nexusmods.

I am having the same issue. Almost the whole IMDB site is not shown properly. Many links can not be clicked (like to change language or log-in). The images are not working also. The images are hard-embedded and I can not click on 'show more' link.

This happens to Nexuxmods.com page too. Login is not working because of Cloudflare's TRASH and VERY annoying security stuff (that I am not a robot!).

I also have made new profile withOUT any add-ons installed, visited IMDB, but no luck.

I can't speak as to IMDB, since I use TheMovieDB, but youtube works fine-ish for me (can just be a little slow, 1-2 second loads, and occasionally require a browser restart when starting to have 10+ seconds loading) in Pale Moon (using eMatrix and uBO and some GreaseMonkey scripts).
NexusMods also works fine now, though it did have issues last year.

TMDB: I visited the site. It's like IMDB, but LESS information. I also made an account.
Why I want IDMB page to work properly: Because I use old add-ons for Firefox (with Palemoon/Basilisk). Firefox is just )(nothing but) TRASH since WebExtensions. NO original add-ons work anymore. WebExtensions are also EXTREMELY cheap and VERY boring (almost no user interface).

Youtube: YT works, somehow, but I can't disable advertisements. I have to delete cookies, then confirm Google account, then it works without adds. BUT: After days, YT does not work with disabled adds (via uBlock Originn etc.). Because of that, I use for YT Firefox. I HATE Youtube adds in ALL videos (at beginning and while videos are playing)!
SO, I use uBlock Origin (and NoScript with Basilisk).

eM, UBD, GM: They just are for fake interface. What I need is that a site works NORMAL - NOT with such fake scripts.

NexusMods: It works also, but slow.

I never get any ads on YT at all. Logged in, with uBO and eMatrix. Everything but doubleclick allowed in uBO (uBO filter only for cosmetic blocking like shorts, overlays, etc) and the same in eMatrix.
GreaseMonkey scripts are only for bringing back downvote, bringing back list feed, and bypassing age check. I don't delete cookies, etc.
