To clarify, when I try to get a user name and password, it comes back with “no accounts found”. Anyone know what ports are used for outgoing and incoming, then I can make sure that they are open in my firewall. Works great without my firewall, thanks.

I am having troubles with BMN 1.3, but when I disable my firewall (Kerio version 4) it works great. Does anyone know of anything that can be done to the firewall to allow BMN to work, besides disabling it completly. thanks

I just discovered that, in my case, the constant “Unable to locate login form” messages I was receiving were due to an option in the PasswordMaker extension. Under the options for that extension I had to untick "show the contents of password fields hidden with asterisks on web pages". Now BugMeNot works great on all the sites I have visited, including the latimes.com which someone metioned being a problem. I suspect that many similar problems can be traced to extensions or programs that manipulate the HTML output in some way to add some feature. There are a lot of these for Firefox so try disabling them to debug. HTH. FF 1.5.0.1 BMN 1.3 Windows XP

Whatever I did with those sub-menus, I ended up deleting the one and only account for worldjournal.com and now I can’t read my Chinese news. :(

Doesn’t work. Even NY times doesnt work. It says it found no freaking usernames and i should create one and submit it to bugmenot.com

Thumbs down. F

I had the “no accounts” problem as well, and is was a Norton problem, as well. I have Norton Internet Security 2005, and the problem was in Norton AntiSpam, the popup blocker. You can very safely turn this off if you have your protection inside your browser, with noscript or adblock or what have you. I think it wouldn’t be a bad Idea to make an announcement of some sort that this problem is likely a firewall/security problem on the PC end, so people don’t give up on the extension.
