Firefox won't stay logged in.

**SOLVED - Firefox won't stay logged in.

**SOLVED

Since I've been using Windows 7 x64 I have noticed that Firefox (3.5.2) won't keep my logged in to any of the sites where I typically check off the boxes to keep me logged in (ie this forum!).

Any know why this may be occuring.

I am running AVG 8.5.

Side note, I'd like to be running NOD32 but I get an error when I try to run the installer package stating "This installation package could not be opened, contact the vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package."

Sounds like you are not accepting cookies. Have you checked your cookie settings?

Have you seen this thread? There's somebody with exactly the same problem.

Ok just discovered something interesting. I went into Firefox options, and the cookies were switched OFF and the setting was not to remember anything. I know I didn't set it up like this. I altered the settings back, hit ok, reopen Firefox/options, and it reverts back to "don't remember anything." What gives??:sarc:

Any other options I alter, such as downloading settings, my selections do take and stay but in this case with privacy/cookies, it keeps reverting.

Yes, that was my post!

Might be AVG preventing you from doing that

I think I may have solved it, looks like in the new firefox they re-arranged a few items on the privacy tab. There is a new tick box at the top that states "start firefox in a private session". Even though you can alter your cookie settings beneath that, if that box is ticked off, it causes the reversion. After I un-checked it, my settings now seem to remain.

Try through about:config. Set network.cookie.cookieBehavior to 0'

edit: nm Glad you solved it!

I added 'SOLVED' to my subject line, but it doesn't show up when you view the thread list under 'software', only at the top here when within the thread.
