Gmail use with Firefox keeps many Gmail sessions from logging out.

I use Gmail with Firefox and many times (say 50% of time) when I log off Gmail and return later I find that the previous session has remained open in the ensuing interval. I don't check the "Keep me logged in" box when I log into Gmail.

I've been told that this could be a Firefox - Gmail conflict and was wondering if you've heard this before with any of your customers and have any suggestions?

Check and tell if that works.


BTW you are using an old version of Firefox. Any specific reason of not using the latest version Firefox 12 ??

Thanks, that suggestion seems to have solved the problem. Just have to remember my user names and passwords on my own.  :-) Lumps

You can save your Usernames & Passwords in Firefox but just don't select the "Stay signed in" checkbox, see these articles:

Check and tell if its working.
