*@#&%@#(#%&@#$ Login problems...Firefox??

I've been having the damndest problems getting and staying logged in on LJ. For a week now, I think since I logged out to log in as my other id, I have only been able to actually get logged in by doing it when I am replying to a comment. The login forms and the one at the top of the main page hand me back gobbledegook about the cookies it's setting as a text document. Now, even that won't work--I get an error about malformed form data. Even going through the lost password stuff doesn't get me logged in. Apparently this is an artifact of Firefox somehow, because here I am on IE (::shudder:: I hate IE!!!), logged in on first try no problems.

I am going to see if I need to update Firefox, but if y'all have any tech suggestions to help, I'd love that.

Update 3/11: Well, I have tried several things, and so far the only way I can log in through Firefox is to turn Zone Alarm completely off. While this is progress in understanding the issue, it does not make me happy. I have stuff to journal about in BOTH my journals and instead I have this crap to deal with. Sigh.
