Firefox Homepage does not set cookies when using speed dial.

Hi intseas, Are you clearing Cookies & Site Data when Firefox closes?

Or, are you using a Private Browsing window or are in permanent Private Browsing mode?

No I am not clearing any cookies and you dont even have to close the browser to test it. Login and you are set, press the home button and select the shortcut and you are at the login page again.

Test it with < ? php if(isset($_COOKIE['login'])) { header("Location: success.php"); exit; }

If it is not then show the login page.
