I assume you're talking about the page 
http://www.spamcop.net/mcgi?action=loginform which says...

Log in here: (requires cookies)
Username:

Login expires in: 	  	

For those who would rather not accept cookies, these "HTTP basic auth"

What version of Firefox are you using? I am using 2.0.0.11 and it has 
worked fine for many moons.

I tried an experiment to disallow cookies, which caused the FF login to 
fail, with red text on the Spamcop.net page telling me I had to check my 
browser's config. When I added "www.spamcop.net" to the allowed 
exceptions in the FF options/privacy page, it worked.
