      2.4.4-RELEASE-p3
      In WebGUI I cannot save any changes. I cannot add firewall rules, aliases, or any other change. I cannot even upgrade to a development version.
      I can SSH in and touch test.txt, ls and it's there, and rm test.txt and it deletes just fine.

      I have only one package installed, OpenVPN client export.

      I check disk space:
      df -h
      Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
      /dev/gptid/bfd632b9-64cb-11e9-a8b4-00e0670b87c8 27G 1.0G 24G 4% /
      devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
      /dev/md0 3.4M 100K 3.0M 3% /var/run
      devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /var/dhcpd/dev
      cd

      I tried
      pkg-static update -f
      pkg-static upgrade -f
      which upgraded 2 packages and reinstalled 156 packages.

      Still not able to make changes.

        Any error in the logs when you try to save?

        Most common way this happens is if you are logging in as a non-admin user which is a member of a group with the Deny Config Write privilege.

          Did you try another browser and/or in incognito mode?

              YES! Rico is the man! Thanks Rico! Chrome is the problem. I wonder why...Perhaps I'll uninstall Chrome and get a fresh install. Edge InPrivate browsing worked.

                Glad you have it working now. Chrome should be fine in general, problems are mostly caused by plugins.
                Firefox ESR is the better browser anyway. ๐Ÿ˜

                  I did. Nothing in your post and my comment were contradictory. You did not mention what account you used to login or any other significant information.

                  Probably a browser plugin. We have seen certain ones like ad and script blockers cause similar problems in the past.

                    Not a brower plugin. However, I did clear browser data which resolved the problem.
                    Menu>More Tools>Clear Browsing Data>Advanced>clear all except saved passwords, for all time.
                    Chrome works now.
