I was having a problem with a site and somebody told me to delete the cookie for the site but i seem to have deleted every cookie and now i'm having to sign in to everything everytime i go to a site instead of Firefox just having me logged straight in. Is it possible to fix this? Thanks for any help and i hope my explination is clear enough

Go to Tools > Options > Privacy and make sure "Always clear my private data when I close firefox" is unchecked. Sometimes when you go to log-in to a site there will be a log in time setting, there is either an option for "Forever" or sometimes putting it at 0 will automatically make it forever. Also not all sites will remember whether or not you were logged in, though most of them do.

I unchecked it yesterday but every sites still not keeping me signed in.

Hi Leemo,

Once a week, say every Saturday I run ATF-Cleaner by Atribune. This clears all your temp folders, and cookies so keeps my systems running slim and fast. I have never cleared cookies from any particular site as it is not deemed necessary when the above program is used weekly.

After doing the above, I then need to log into each and every forum, site, whatever just once in the week. This is good practice to my way of thinking and keeps your system clean.

So, I recommend you download and run the above program which is one of the best offered in my opinion.

kind regards,

Under Tools > Options make sure "Accept Cookies from sites" and "Accept third-party cookies" under Privacy are checked. Also make sure "Keep until" is set to "they expire".

I always have them checked ^^^

Leemo,

I have Firefox installed as my second browser. I don't have to sign in to use it, I just click the shortcut I put in my taskbar once and it immediately opens.

Are you sure you mean a password to Firefox, and not some other issue?

Please confirm which password to what program you are referring to? Thanks

kind regards,

He means passwords to websites.

For instance WTT. If you sign in, then when you exit your browser and re-open it, you can come back and your still logged in. He can't get websites to keep him logged in anymore.

In Firefox, under Tools / Options, Security tab, make sure "Remember passwords for sites" is checked.

Yep mate that's always checked. Maybe i should delete them and start again?

Leemo,

Put a tick/enable in "Log me automatically each visit"

This should help I hope.

kind regards,
