Comment:

 This issue clearly persists!
 You can login to disqus - but you cannot log in to any site using disqus
 or comment annything since torbrowser v.8.0.

 This is not an issue of disqus as you can log in directly to disqus.com
 page.
 This is also not an issue of these ineffable google recaptchas and their
 endless loops.
 It is clearly a problem with tor-browser since ver. 8.0 as it still works
 with ver. <8.0.

 Even with 3rd party cookies enabled for disqus and the site you want to
 post on noscript set to always trust top level site there is no way to log
 in or make the site you want to post on using disqus realize that you have
 already logged in.

 In torbrowser <8.0 it is/was possible to log in to disqus.com and every
 site using this crap was aware that you already had logged in.

 As torbrowser was the only way to comment without beeing tracked the main
 purpose of torbrowser has gone with the lack to use disqus.com for me.
 Please fix this and don't just close the issue with 'works for me'.
 For me and most others I assume it does not.
