Hello!
I'm developing an online store using Magento (on localhost at the moment), and I've just stumbled across a problem with using IE and Firefox.
Annoyingly, When I click "Add to Cart" on a product, it directs me straight through to a CMS page (enable-cookies), which asks the user to enable cookies on their browser.
This would all be fine if I needed to enable cookies - but they're already enabled.
It works fine on opera, just not on firefox and IE.
Any ideas?

To change host name:
- if you have still access to admin, then of course the easiest way is the normal change as you give it
- in most situations however, since you have changed host, you might have NO access to Magento, because the db still refers to the old host. In which case the only solution is to change these 2 values directly in the MySQL table core_config_data

This seems to be the well-knwon problem, of problems with cookies if your host name does not have a dot in it (!) as is the case of "localhost".
Simply try with 127.0.0.1 and you cookies should work.
Remember though that you now have to change the host name in the database... this might be a problem..
go to phpmyadmin and type
SELECT * FROM `core_config_data` WHERE `path` LIKE 'web/%secure/base_url'
this should give you TWO items who need to be changed from 'localhost' to '127.0.0.1'
