My experience with the age verification.

Just posting my experience with the age verification from the Archive. I hope the extra information can help squash bugs.

On my Chromium based browser, I can click and pass the age verification without any problem, regardless of settings.

But on my two different Firefox based browsers, I get stuck on the age verification; unless I hit under 18, which sends me to google.

If I go through the Forum first, and then use a link that takes me directly to, "https://www.adult-fanfiction.org/", I can click the age verification and enter the site, regardless of my browser or settings.

Going through the Forum first, then using a link from in the forum, is the only way I can get into the Archive, when using a Firefox based browser.

It sounds like in your Chromium based browser, you allowed the new cookie to be set.  Whereas in Firefox you have not.

I checked again with FireFox, TorBrowser, DuckDuckGo, LibreWolf; this time with all their cookie restrictions turned off completely, I still get the same result.

If you go directly to the Archive, you won't get past the age verification.

If you go to the Forum, don't click anything, then go directly to the Archive, you won't get past the age verification.

If you go to the Forum, use a link to "https://adult-fanfiction.org/", from within the forum, then the age verification works.

I've tried this on Android 13, Windows 10, Zorin 18 and Debian 13; A phone, two PCs and a laptop.

I think there may be something wrong with the Age Verification prompt, at least in regards to browsers based on FireFox, because no other site acts that way for any of my other devices or browsers.

At the very least, maybe there should be a warning on the age verification that it may not work with browsers based on FireFox.

Am I the only FireFox user here?
