It's not a biggie, but I can't stay logged-in to the Forum. This seems to have started last night. On the Homepage, the box is still ticked to "remember me" and Firefox 3.0.2 (which by co-incidence, updated itself yesterday) remembers my log-in name and password.

I can get in as normal with IE7, so probably a FF-specific thing? Anyway, just thought I'd mention it, in case anyone else happens to experience the same thing

Firefox just updated yet again, to 3.0.3 ...but it hasn't made any difference. Did you tweak anything Madx?

I don't think it's anything on the site end, as it's purely related to cookies which are only stored on the end user computer

I've had FF do this sometimes when I've run CCleaner, and it only seems to resolve after a restart. Might be worth a shot if you've not restarted since Otherwise, try cleaning the cookie cache and see if that does the trick. Do other websites dependant on cookies do the same thing?

I have always had CCleaner set to leave PCR cookies alone - and a couple of other sites I visit regularly, so think they should be okay. However, when I went to two of those other sites today, I needed to sign-in to both - so it obviously is a "local" thing.

Funny thing is, when I came in just now, I didn't need to log-in, but anyway, if it happens again, I shall restart, as you suggest.

Thank you for the advice/suggestions, they are much appreciated

Sorry to bang on about it, but the problem has returned again and, by way of an "update" it is only happening with the Vista PC, XP is connecting just fine. Both have the same FF versions, etc., so it's a bit puzzling really. As I said before, it's not biggie, just a bit annoying.

Yay problem solved! Just in case anyone else is experiencing the problem I had... the solution is simply to completely uninstall Firefox, choosing the option to remove your profile details, then do a clean reinstall. But, do remember to back-up any bookmarks etc., that you wish to keep - and make note of any "stored" passwords that you might forget.

It's working fine again now.
