The problem cause is described here, and a simple fix (in Firefox) is to do this: Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy. Select “Accept cookies from sites”, UNCHECK “Accept third-party cookies”, and on “Exceptions” add blogger.com, and click “Allow”. Now you can comment on blogspot.com blogs.
Untested for blogs hosted outside blogspot.
If after the first attempt to comment a red square appears, hit Submit again, and it should work.

Blogger, blogspot, and comments
As detailed elsewhere, blogger needs to have third-party cookies enabled for comment posting to work properly. But instead of enabling for the whole wide web, you can authorize them only for blogger.com. Reproducing my second comment in the above post in my former blog:

hey its working thanks
UPDATE:
1) it works for blogs hosted outside blogger (as this one now is)
2) For the cookie exception to blogger.com to be remembered the next time you open firefox, if you use "Clear History", the "Site Preferences" box must be UNCHECKED.
