I can't get Firefox to stay logged on to various forums, even after I check the remember me forever box. This means I have to retype in my login info every time I go on. I have cookies enabled and all that jazz, but it just won't remember me. Help?

this is going to sound really stupid but you don't have it set to clear private data (incl. cookies) when you close the browser?

Question: Are you using Vista, and if so, did you install Firefox using administrative privileges?

What happens if you don't have admin priveleges?

Good point. I think I may just be a tad sleepy, lol. Just the first part of that question, then :D I had the same problem with Vista, except it wouldn't remember any site I visited, even in the same browsing session without clearing private data. The problem didn't go away even after uninstalling Firefox completely.

I am using Windows XP and I do not have it set to clear the private data when I close the browser. Might try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to see if that solves it.
