Clear history w/out clearing logins when it is unchecked in options
When I clear the history my active logins are being cleared as well even though I have it unchecked on the options page. Why is that?

Thank you!
A detail like a website remembering you (log you in automatically) is stored in a cookie.
You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:
- you can create an "Allow" exception to keep specific cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data: Exceptions
If you remove the Cookies from websites then this makes a website forget about you.
Note that Active Logins is about servers that use Basic Authentication (i.e. you get a login dialog) and this is handled in another way (not via cookies), so do not get confused.
