frustration

[Philip Johnsson]

When I tested to upload to Flickr from dk5.1 and was setting up Flickr to
authorize digikam I had to first close all my Firefox windows so digikam
opened a newly started Firefox browser window to have it working correctly
with cookies. If I had Firefox already started and got just a new tab in
Firefox I got this cookie problem with Flickr and Firefox.

When digikam is authorized in Flickr I just used the digikam interface.

Hope this help you with your problem.
