Firefox logout

royaler83

Hey,

I uses the latest firefox edition. Everytime I shut down or log off and then log on again, websites such as boards.ie, facebook etc have me logged out. I checked out the whole cookies situation and it's set up right ie. they are not being deleted, what else can I do? I have gone through many suggestions just from googling the problem but nothing works.

Thanks

Right click a firefox shortcut and you'll see something like this in the Target field:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Add -profilemanager to the very end of the string so it reads

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -profilemanager

Then click OK/Apply and restart firefox using that new shortcut. A profile manager will appear. Create a new profile, call it test and select it. This new profile will not have your Bookmarks/Settings/History or anything, so test boards.ie and see if it works. If it does you can use MozBackup to backup your Bookmarks/History from the old profile and restore it to the new one. Then you can delete your busted profile

Thanks but didn't work I'm afraid, shut down and started up again, started 'test' firefox, didn't remember me though, when I opened it it remembered my usernames but I wasn't logged in

Back up profile. Remove Firefox, reinstall. Test. Restore bookmarks/history if required.
