[opencms-dev] Not able to login as Admin

[Niklas Eklund]

This could just be because the Mozilla flavoured browsers have pop-up ad 
blocking set as default. The settings are found under 
Edit->Prefs->Privacy (in Moz 1.3) or Tools->Options->Web features (in 
Firebird). An exclamation mark appears down to the left/right in the 
status bar that is clickable and where one can allow the current site to 
open pop-ups.
The ActiveX stuff (ie the WYSIWYG editor) won't work in Mozilla based 
browsers, but the one can still edit the source code and do other 
administrative tasks.

Regards,

  Niklas
