Greetings: Although I ask Firefox to keep me signed in, [I check the box at the bottom of sign-in page], I must re-sign in regardless. What a pain. I'm in and out of e-mail 20 times a day. Any help???? I have Yahoo and have been using Firefox for over a year without trouble. What to do?

  • Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
  • You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
  • Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

There are other things that need attention:

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

  1. Shockwave Flash 10.1 r85

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.

You also have two Adobe Reader plugins showing in that list. You should remove them both and update to AR 10

  1. Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.4.0"
  2. Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.4"

Update the Adobe Reader plugin to the latest version.
