Firefox (my browser of choice), keeps forgetting my password and log-in information even though I checked the “remember me” on the website. Each time I went back to the website, I had to type in my login credentials again – annoying!
I couldn’t figure it out! I allow cookies for websites, so what’s the problem?
Well, I accept cookies alright… but only until Firefox closes! Duh! So, if you’re experiencing this problem, go to Preferences > Privacy > and in the cookies section choose to keep until “they expire” from the drop-down menu.
Happy browsing!
Hey, I don't want this picture. What gives?

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Lol.
And I even remember telling it to clear my cookies after I close firefox! I’m my own enemy!
Now to find out why firefox isn’t spellchecking…
Yes! I knew my blog would benefit the masses one day!
Boohoo.
The ‘keep until expired’ option is checked but my passwords are still not automatically on the site. I mean if i write the first letter of my username there it’ll pop up with the password but it doesn’t sign me in automatically.
Orkut or youtube etc.
Hmmm. I don’t know about that. Do you use the “remember passwords” feature? Preferences > Security > Remember passwords for sites. I use this to avoid some repetitive logging in. But I still have to click the log in button if the cookie expired.
Also, sometimes the cookie makers expire their passwords – so even if you want the cookie to last forever the website makes you log in every once and a while. Maybe if Firefox had an option to “keep past expiration date” we would never have to log in again.
I actually have the exact same problem as Saf. It has something to do with the way the most recent version of Firefox is working because managed to get it working again by reverting to a previous firefox update.
