Textpattern is sorry, and won't let me publish.
I just tried to post an article for the first time since upgrading from 4.5.4 to 4.5.5. I get: “I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t do that; article publish is an unsafe operation.” The same message does not appear for drafts that already exist, only for new articles created with “Write”.

That does fix the problem. I suppose I need to clear out all the cookies in Firefox.

And closing all TXP backend windows and then doing the cookie dance again?
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

I think that’s what I did, but to make sure I did it again anyway. Doesn’t appear to help.

You need to clear your cache instead of cookies.
The issue is most likely that your browser is caching the editor forms, and is actually unrelated to the update itself. All forms that execute a persistent action (e.g. save data) are protected by and contain a CRSF token, which when cached, will not validate and prevents you from sending the form. The token is regenerated each time you log-in or change your password.
This caching is normally an effect of the server being configured to send caching related headers or of a proxy (i.e. CDN middle man), which then makes the client to cache the page. Responses to Textpattern’s admin-side pages can not contain caching headers or stuff won’t work properly at all (neither will any control panel for that matter).

Fixed. Clearing the cache worked. Yay! Thanks, all.
