For some time I've been experiencing issues in Joomla admin, usually when navigating to another section, particularly articles or modules. I get thrown out of the Admin and have to log in again. There's no error message or anything, I'm just kicked out back to the log in screen. When I log back in I will be in the section I had tried to navigate to.
This appears to be happening only in Firefox. For that reason I've been using Chrome quite a bit for Joomla admin tasks and haven't so far had any problems there. I am using Apple iMac Sierra.
At first I thought it was an extension issue, and spent time clearing out old extensions on my sites, which made no difference. I also realised that it was happening on sites which were quite new.
Then I thought the Firefox installation on my main computer might be a bit screwed, but the same thing was happening on my new laptop when I tried to do some work while away, which has a fresh installation of Firefox.
I've been through various upgrades with Joomla, all my extensions and Firefox since I started getting these issues.
Today I installed a new Joomla package for a new site. I thought I'd start off working in Firefox, to see if and when problems might start to occur. The first extension I installed was JCE (it's always JCE and Akeeba go in first), and when I then tried to navigate to the JCE component to put my key into the settings, I was kicked out of the admin straight away.
That has made me wonder if this is JCE related, so I thought it worth asking if there are any known issues in Firefox or if anyone else has been having similar problems using Firefox on the Mac.
Looking forward to feedback. In the meantime I'll continue using Chrome!
Best wishes
