I use ultimate reef and reef sanctuary forums and each time I access these sites I have to re-enter my user name and password despite having ticked the remember me box. I have same issue using btinternet.com. I am relatively new to Firefox having moved from IE due to having similar probs with my btinterent account, but didn't have them with the others.

Regards Trevor

  • Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
  • You must allow that cookie (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions), especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
  • Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
