Firefox use to keep me logged in when I check a box to keep logged in but now this does not ever work any longer. How do I fix it?

  • Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
