  Using Firefox browser I can no longer save edits to a post already on WordPress. Any ideas? I can use IE on the same post and it will update my changes fine. When using Firefox I receive an error that I am not authorized to make such a change. Usually I am just updating Tags and/or categories. Anyone come across this and found a solution? This just started about a week ago. I have by browser set for automatic updates and I assume that it was updated around that date.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Use the Classic editor not the Beep Beep Boop one, and before you hit Publish or Save, highlight ALL of the contents in the Write Post box, hit Copy, and then hit the button, while it is all still highlighted. Several years ago when I was using FB and encountered this error that forced it to go through okay and if it had ever failed, I could have just pasted the contents I had just saved to the clipboard.

  So glad it worked for you. Pity after all these years this error has returned.
