"Delicious" is a bookmark add-on for Firefox. I have used it for a long time. Today when I wanted to bookmark a website, and I found that I was signed out. However, it took me a long tiem but I couldn't sign in it anyway. Do you have this problem? How to solve it?

Delicious recently changed from being owned by Yahoo. It is now owned by a company called AVOS and they have made a lot of changes. The transition should have been seamless and your old username and password should still work (mine did ... though I guessed at it!) Their 'Help'/FAQs says: "It’s been a while, and I forgot my password or my username. How can I get them back? Select the password reminder option when you sign-in to Delicious to have your password reset and sent to the email you set for your account." Try that! I find that this sort of thing is always a problem: I sign up for something which automatically stores my username and password and then forget completely what username AND password I used!

I was able to log in straight away. Could it to be something to do with the Great Firewall of China?

It is possible. However, I can use VPN to unblock GFW.

According to a comment on Delicious bookmarks addon page it's because they changed the delicious site with a new version, so I guess you have to wait for an update. When extensions stop working I always check the add-on firefox page to see if somebody else has the same problem.

I hope it will not last a long time and the delicious website can be back to normal.

If you are using this addon: http://tinyurl.com/6yfhcwn the developer is delicious itself, so I guess they are getting lot of complaints and they should fix it in a few days :)

Every time I've updated Firefox, my add-ons have problems. I don't even think I've used the Delicious add on in a very long time. Sorry, I can't help. I do like the site and use it to share recipes and coloring pages with other people.

youless, I believe this could be the usual temporary access problem which happens when their servers are being updated or relocated or upgraded. However, do be prepared for access problems that arises from censorship protocols with China's public Great Wall (firewall) which affected another bookmark add-on. I am sure you would recall and be quite familiar with Xmarks which had been inaccessible for sometime since they changed their name from Foxmarks and hosted on a former X-rated host server. Anyway, just check your bookmark add-on's official website to see if there's any new announcements and/or news pertaining to this problem. P.S. Xmarks is now accessible in China as they've already resolved their issue and are providing excellent bookmark service.

It is convenient for me to use the bookmark add-on with Firefox. This is why I prefer to use delicious.
