After upgrading to ver 26 when I tried to log into my web mail (Xfinity) it would bounce me back to the login screen. I cleared Firefox's cache and the login now works but the option to "Remember me for 2 weeks" does not remember. I have to login every time.

This can be caused by corrupted cookies or cookies that are blocked (check the permissions on the about:permissions page).


Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
