Are you using Sync?

No, I am not doing anything I had not done for years with normal firefox.

• Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
• Create an allow cookie exception (Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
• In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
• Do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Site Preferences" and the cookies or clear cookies otherwise.

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

I had never gone out of my way to "create an exception" for any version of FF prior to 3.6. Not ONCE and it remembered by user/pass for sites fine. When you login to a site, it asks you if you want to remember it, you say yes. It now disappears inside 2-3 days. Chrome I don't have to create an exception, nor do I have to in Safari.

I get if I clear things it will clear that too, that's common sense. Thing is, I don't do this.

This is a FF 3.6 and FF beta 4 issue. Others have it too of you google, it's wode spread. My gf has the same issue, different computer, diff habits. All of a sudden her FF started sucking as well.

I am not a newb, I understand cookies quite well and I am telling you, FF is dropping them. Each time I come here, it asks me if I want to remember my pass. I say yes. You think it remembers? Hell no.

btw, creating an exception does nothing.

I tried this, and once again, it remembers pass for maybe a day or two, sometimes hours and then poof, gone again. This is on multiple systems, multiple OS's and I've been using computers for over 12 years, I am a programmer so I know what I'm doing. :) FF 3.6 and beta 4 are just dropping. Not sure why.

notice how this still has not been fixed or even addressed by staff? I am now logging into the same sites, daily, several times having to retype everything. haha

awesome. twitter thinks i am new everytime i return.

Come on FF, please stop failing? I really want to use you but you don't even address the bug that many others have (google it, you'll see it's widespread)

not dropping cookies should be simple, no?

Similar problem. Since 3.6.14 it will not remember ID's. There were always a few sites that wouldn't accept a remembered password (blank entry box), but most would fill it in once the ID was selected from drop down list, or both ID and PW would be remembered. Not any more.

None of my privacy settings or cookie settings have changed - no private browsing, accept cookies until they expire, no clearing on exit, etc.

All extensions and plugins show ok after the 3.6.14 update - none saying incompatible or any problem.

so any chance you guys are actually going to fix this bug?

I upgraded to 4 RC

wow, same thing. I log into a site and oh look, an hour later I need to login again. awesome. I was pretty sure between versions you're supposed to fix bugs.. no?

yup, still waiting for someone, anyone at Firefox to take this seriously. I have the newest version available. It is an OS-X issue, as I have FF4 on my Win7 box and it's perfect. In OS-X though, it's faster but it drops cookies/passwords daily almost. I have some sites it asks me to log back in inside 12 hours for. This is a FF issue, as others in this thread will attest to. I hope someone fixes it, if you are reading this and you work with Mozilla, contact me and I'll help in any and every way possible.

again, on Win7 the issue isn't there but in OS-X, it is.

I have log into twitter, facebook etc at least ten times a day/night where as normally ir would remember who I am. if I use Safari, Opera, Chrome, it is fine, it remembers me.

I use ForgetFox and it doesn't remember anything.

Help? Anyone? Bueller?

Hi, could it be that you are using the "never remember history" in the Privacy settings. I had the same problem and changed the settings to "use modified history settings" or so (my FF is dutch so this might not be the proper translation) There you can address FF not to start in Private mode.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the idea, but no, my settings are identical to factory settings.

Firefox will: remember settings

For OS-X users anyway, not happening. It forgets daily.

I have just started having this problem today. Nothing in my settings has changed but now each site I visit I must log on again. If I leave my Yahoo mail and return in five minutes, I have to log in again. Same with Facebook. What a pain! It may have started when I upgraded my Firefox today or yesterday. All my security setting have been checked....saving cookies, etc. Please get this fixed soon.
