Ever since that issue a few months back where all your passwords were deleted from Firefox, I have a problem where even if I tick the box to keep me looged in to a particuar forum, for example, if I close the tab and then open it again, I've been logged out and have to log in again. Anyone else have this issue?

Hi Go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy and make sure that you unchecked “Always clear my private data when I close Firefox”.

What are your data saving settings set to? If you have it set to super strict it won't save any cookies which would cause that issue, check about:preferences#privacy

Sorry, doesn't help. Could it be a security issue on the AVG anti-virus?

@Eve, and @ isuri umangi are on the right track -

Make sure that you are not in: Private Browsing window, or Always Use Private Browsing, or Never Remember History
