    Have you got cookies enabled? If so what are they being told to do?
    Keep them until they expire?
    Keep them until you close Firefox?
    Ask you everytime?

    I have this exact same problem and no amount of googling has yielded a solution yet. Seems to be problem with version 3.0.3 of Firefox. If I go into to Tools > Options > Privacy I have my cookies set to keep them till they expire and the box that says Always clear my private data when I close Firefox is unticked. I also tried as suggested elsewhere to clear my cookies completely but its still the same problem, logged in sessions time out after about 20/30 mins? Anyone got any suggestions?

    I had the same problem with Firefox 3 and Mint, didn't get it solved either. Cookies were enabled. Must be a Firefox 3 problem.
