Might be better to check the configuration of the firewall; it is probably configured to block outgoing information that might be considered "sensitive".

Just an FYI, I have a friend in Scotland who had the same issue, he turned off his firewall and was able to login fine...

************ [[ SOLUTION ]] *******************

My Friend if Modx Works fine in IE, Crome etc... and only have problems in Firefox... that is the problem Firefox!!

so is just configuration.

1. Type “about:config” in the location bar, and press Enter.
2 In the filter box, type “referer” and press Enter. This should leave you with one preference, network.http.sendRefererHeader. This is probably set to 0.
3 Right click on network.http.sendRefererHeader and select “Modify”

- Just change it to 2

and thats all.

Are just some things about security in firefox...

I HOPE THAT WORKS FOR YOU TOO, MORE INFORMATION HERE:

changing the value of ’validate_referer’ in _system_settings table to 1 solved the problem.

Sorry for my English.

This error is only in firefox?

If is it, go to "about:conig" and set value network.http.sendRefererHeader; to 2 (default)

it is possible that some addon change automatically this value to 0, look again after change.

Now for me it’s ok!

Hello everybody,

I had the same issue and nothing helped me. When i delete cookies i can connect to manager connection window, but not to the administration page. Changing validate_referer in database didnt helped neither.

So i tried to open the index.php in manager folder of my site with notepad++(any other editor works too). I found there the code for CSRF issue (juste do ctrl+F and write CSRF in the window) and i juste put this part of code in comment. And now it works.

I suppose it is not the best solution. I dont even know what does CSRF mean, but apperently it’s related to hackers attempts to acces to your site. So this solution is good only when you work at home.
