Error: 400 Bad Request: Request Header Or Cookie Too Large
Every time I try to access anything at all on MTS today, on my main browser Firefox, I get an error like this:
400 Bad Request
Request Header Or Cookie Too Large
----------------------------------------------------

The problem started quite suddenly yesterday morning. The first I noticed was that the colours on the Agree, Disagree, Helpful, etc. buttons didn't seem to be showing on the thread I was viewing. To get them to show, I refreshed the page. And immediately got the above error. And I quickly discovered that I was getting the same error on every page I tried to access on the MTS site.
I have since found some workarounds that let me onto the site: (i) I can get on using a private Firefox window. (ii) I can get on using Firefox on my old computer, but this seems very slow now that I'm used to the new one. (Moreover it asks me to agree to cookies on every page!) (iii) I can get on if I use Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox. All of these make me think that the problem is most likely that my cookie for MTS on Firefox has somehow grown larger than the site can handle, and I would gladly delete it, if I had a clue where Firefox stores its cookies.
I've tried restarting Firefox, and rebooting the computer but the problem persists. I virtually live on the MTS Sims 2 forum, where I often have several tabs open, so it does seem possible to me that the cookie might grow too big. I very seldom log out of MTS completely. Can anyone help?
