For the last couple of days, Firefox 3.0.7 (on XP) has not been remembering any of my login details for any site. It was working ok before.
Before I try an uninstall/reinstall does anyone have any ideas?
Was it the last Windows update? Hmmm...
ughh...firefox
my parents can't check their israeli news site maariv anymore (nrg.co.il), cause firefox always crashes when they try to open an article, on two different computer.
FF is... useful... but it has its shares of bugs.
Try backing up your settings and then deleting the entire user data directory. It will start a new one like a fresh install, and see if it is a FF issue or an issue with your settings becoming corrupt.
No, no ZA here...
I pretty much stopped using FireFox...
It is full of bugs of various kinds which makes me puzzled why so many people use it and thinks its something special...
because they compare it to IE

test, weird, if I use the standard quote feature on reply #19 the code for quote breaks.
I have no idea where to report it though
Check Privacy and Security options under Tools>Options, if they are set to accept cookies and to remember passwords.
Please report the problem to Mozilla.
PS- Now I got a friend in Firefox that too can confuzzle you like me.
I had the exact problem, with Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera. I simply unistalled them and installed Flock, browser that is almost the same as Firefox. Also I noticed that uses smaller amount of RAM. Works fine for me.
It isn't a FF problem. All browsers, when opened (not closed) delete cookies. It isn't a browser setting. Something else is afoot...
Is your date and time properrties configured correctly? Sometimes it happens with different date and time. I had read it somewhere.
Interesting the amount of dislike for FF on this thread. I've been using FF for years now and while it does have it's downs from time to time I enjoy all the addons that make surfing the internet a lot better for me. IE, not only did it not give any kind of addons or interesting features but there were times it would not even close after hitting the X. I honestly have not tried other browsers besides FF but I am very happy with it and to believe that FF is perfect or something like that is to be naive. It's obvious FF will have bugs from time to time, but that's no reason to put it down like it's a copy of IE. As far as I'm concerned I'm glad Microsoft is considering allowing IE to be eliminated from Windows 7.
Did this little problem truly make everyones life that much harder? It was only a minor annoyance.
While OT, this is slightly incorrect. ie8 will still be there, just not active, and you'll really have to drill down to 'deactivate' it.
If, that is, you believe it's really deactivated.
Is that FF's memory...or your OWN that's shot?...
It may be usefull from time to time to erase all temporary files and a browser cache. Especially if one has problems with the browse. 3rd party tools may do this too. Be aware however of the anonymizers! They are a usefull tool somewhere, however not if you want to save your login information.
Quite the reverse. It's actually forcing me to remember my login details!
