How do you unblock a web page in Ubuntu 10.04?
 
I inadvertently blocked a web page and get the following message when I try to open it using Firefox.

"The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

I can change users and access the web page or change computers. No other websites were affected.
Is there a way in Ubuntu or Gnome to unblock a website to accept cookies?

Here is a tutorial on how to enable-disable-delete-manage cookies

Sounds like a Firefox configuration issue, not Ubuntu or Gnome. Check your security settings in FireFox. There are options to except/reject cookies.

Thanks for the replys. I am using Firefox 3.6.8 and it doesn't have the Options in the Tools menu. That is missing on both PC's. Looks like I need to post this problem with Mozilla.

In Linux, Firefox "Options" is "Preferences" in the Edit menu.

Problem Resolved
 
Thanks jasohl for the reply, I should have mentioned Options isn't in the preferences either.
However, after many hours of searching and reading the solution to my problem was rather simple.
In the Preference/Privacy menu you have to change the Firefox will: to "Use custom settings for history" and there is "Accept cookies from sites" Exceptions box. In it was my problem web site.
Problem resolved.
