Signing on/Logging in

Crystal, I use Firefox.

After Christmas, I had to log in ONCE, and click "remember me" beforeI hit enter. Since then, it has been fine.

I use Firefox too. There was an update last week, just before the login problem. I wonder if that is what caused the problem. I never have had to check the box to be remembered before. I did it this time though. I had to relog in yesterday again. Today has been fine.

I have to log in every time I come on. Thought it was supposed to be that way so I didn't think it was anything going wrong. Guess I'll check that box.

I have 2 computers at home and 3 at work. I had not logged out on any of them or changed anything at all, but I had to re-log in on all 5 this week. I always click remember me the first time I log in after getting bumped, and I stay logged in forever until something bumps me again.

Oh, Paul did do a software security patch this week. I had to log back in once, but it has keep me logged in since then. Make sure you check the "remember me" box, and you should be all set.

What version of Firefox are you using?

3.0.16 is my version.
I click on "remember me" every time and it's just not remembering me... LOL I think I am pretty hard to forget, yet this computer has managed to do it!

Okay, go into Firefox, and under the Firefox menu, go to preferences. Then hit the tab for "Privacy" and you will see where you can set how long your machine keeps cookies for. "Accept cookies" should be checked, and then change the drop-down to "until they expire" - I am guessing it is set to "I close Firefox" at the moment.

That is the option that is selected already. I don't know why it's doing this, then.
Thanks for the help!
