trouble as logged-on user
-
When I log into my account on WordPress, I can easily access all my admin options from my dashboard, however as soon as I go to my blog, I appear to be logged out — even though I am not (for example, when I come to this forum, I’m already logged in, and if I go directly to my admin page by typing in the address, I don’t have to log in again).
The black admin bar does not appear at the top of my blog, nor do I see the “edit” option after each individual post or page. I also don’t appear to be logged in when I visit another WP blog — though I haven’t attempted to post a comment to see whether I’m recognised as a logged-in user.
I’m wondering if this is a Firefox issue. I have ad-blocker disabled for my blog and for all wordpress.com sites, since that had been causing me problems earlier in the week, but other than a Greasemonkey script, which I tried turning off to see if it made any difference, and it didn’t, I don’t have any extensions that could be affecting this — and the exact same ones that I’ve always run (NoRedirect, colorzilla, tab mix plus, and a couple others).
Has anyone else encountered this problem? It’s irksome since if I want to edit a page, it takes longer to find the page in the “All Pages” area of my dashboard/admin pages than it does to simply click “edit” while I’m on the page (or post). I also miss the navigation options that normally drop down from the black bar.
I also do see a black admin bar at the top of the support & forums pages, such as this one, but once I use it to go back to my blog (using the dropdown from my username on the right), the bar vanishes again. I’m perplexed!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I haven’t encountered any of those issues. I’m using Firefox 18.0.2 and I tagged this thread for Staff. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

Yep, I’m subscribed.
I’m using Firefox 19.something — didn’t it seem like just yesterday that we were in Firefox 4? — I am considering uninstalling & reinstalling the browser, or jumping back to 18. I’ve had problems — all with WordPress, as far as I know — since updating, and I am wondering if it’s just that Firefox is having problems with WP. It’s strange & annoying. I even tried restarting the browser with no extensions enabled and it didn’t help.

Oh, and I just checked, and weirder still, I see the admin bar in my test blogs, but not on my “real” blog.

“Nerts” is my favorite word for the day!
Okay, I’ve narrowed down the problem.
My black admin bar disappears only on blogs that have their own domain name — I double-checked on your blog, which I’d visited earlier today, and confirmed the bar is missing for me, but when I went to a blog that is a name.wordpress.com site, the black bar is there — which is why I could see it on my test blogs.

I’ve checked a bunch of blogs from “Freshly Pressed,” and every blog with its own domain name is missing the admin bar for me, and I appear logged out; every blog that has “wordpress.com” in its name shows the admin bar.
Any thoughts, mods or anyone else, why this is happening?

Do you have third-party cookies enabled? http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

Yeah, I finally figured out that was the problem. (I turned them off after turning off my Adblock software.) I probably should have noted that in this post. I was having a “dumb” day, I’m afraid! It seemed really obvious when I woke up at about 6 a.m. with “3rd party cookies” in my brain. lol!
