Default LAME. Firefox won't remember my passwords.

This is really lame. Every day or two, I have to resubmit my passwords into the Password Manager. Like, say for this site, I have to retype in my username/password and click the button for FF to remember my password. This happens at EVERY site...

This is really annoying me... I feel the need to use Roboform AI... This has started ever since I moved to Vista...

Is it just a FF glitch or should I use Roboform?

I ave never had a single problem using it with FF...

I would say completely uninstall FF and then go download and install the latest version 2.0.0.3







Thanks HL and Corsair!

Don't forget to delete your mozilla settings directory when you do re-install it.

Default Re: LAME. Firefox won't remember my passwords.

Sounds like you've set FF to automatically delete cookies at a given interval. Or it was inadvertently set. Regardless, once you uninstall, delete this directory as well.

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

I'm not sure if there are any registry keys that determine settings or not.

Go to Tools, Options..., click the "Privacy" button/tab thing at the top of the window. The middle options allow you to set your preferences for how Firefox handles cookies (cookies are what keep track of your passwords and temporary settings you set on websites). From the "Keep until:" drop down menu, select "the expire". So from there it will all depend on the cookie for the site. If the cookies are set to expire after a few days, then there really isn't anything you can do about because I suspect that it will have the same behavior with any browser.
