I have a new iMac OS X 10.6.7 With my older computer, I could save my banking online login id, but I can't get it to work on this one. I set the privacy settings as follows: Use custom settings for history Items checked are: Remember my browsing history Remember download history Remember search & form history Accept cookies from sites Keep until they expire. Nothing else is checked off.

Chosen solution

it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.

Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
