I upgraded to Firefox 8, now it won't Keep Me Logged In at any sites!
Everything was nice and shiny. Then I updated to Firefox 8. Now any website I go to (Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) will not keep me logged in when I check the box to do so. As soon as I close Firefox and reopen it I have to log in again, although on some sites it is remembering my username and password (just not keeping me logged in).
I have tried clearing all cookies and history and still nothing.
Anyone else have this problem?

In the privacy section of the Firefox options, make sure that Firefox is set to accept cookies and is not set to clear history when Firefox closes.
(If you use the default "Remember history" setting then it should work fine. If you use the "Custom settings for history" setting, then make sure that "Accept cookies from sites" is checked and "Clear history when Firefox closes is not checked.)

Looks like all those setting are correct.
It might be interesting to note that I changed it from "Remember history" to "Custom setting" just so I could verify that all the boxes were correct, then I clicked ok and logged in to all my site. I then closed and reopened Firefox; when I still wasn't auto-logged back in to Facebook/etc. I went back in to the Privacy Section and it was changed back to "Remember history".
I have cookies enabled. I do not clear my history or my cookies. Sites that I had set to log me in when I was using FF 3.19 still keep me logged in. The new sites log in under Safari. This seems to be a FF 8 glitch. I am running on a Mac 10.5.8. The site I notice it on is http://displacedcwloungefan.proboards.com/index.cgi As I said I stayed logged in under Safari. Any ideas? I cleared both my cache and my cookies to see if something had hung, but now luck. I left my history intact.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
- Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
You can also try to update to Firefox 9.0.1
