How do I restore the feature where a click on my upper bookmark tabs takes me DIRECTLY to already signed in website page rather than the login (though filled in) page??

Hello Wiz.
This is probably a site usability question. If you instruct the site to always be logged in, does it revert back to logged off state?
Not exactly, the bookmark takes me to the sites login page with the username and pw filled in. Before it would link directly to page as if I had already logged in. I must have done something in settings inadvertently when a site said that cookies had to be enabled in order to do something.
Well, if you can stay logged in during a session, you are allowing cookies for that site, otherwise you'd need to be constantly logging in, as the site would "forget" you did that already.
However, your cookies may be being cleared when you exit the browser. Go into Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will:Remember history and all should be fine. Again, make sure you tell the site to stay logged in each time you visit the site. Most site will not accept cross-session cookies by default, so you need to explicitly tell them to always be logged in.
Hmmm...that does seem to work however until now I had the settings to CLEAR History whenever I closed down FF.
I'm glad you found the solution.
