Any Firefox Users?

Charlie, I am using Firefox and do not have this problem (I am in and out of here several times a day). The only time I have to sign in again is when I switch computers. Wish I could be of more help.

Charlie- there is an option in Firefox to reset personal data upon exiting firefox. don’t remember exactly where it’s at (either tools, or preferences). but you should make sure that’s NOT checked/selected. as it’ll erase all cookies,cache,history, and other things that are selected in it everytime you exit firefox.

Edit: it’s in Edit (Firefox on Mac)->Preferences → Privacy → Private Data “Always Clear my Private Data when I close Firefox (and you have settings you can select individual things to clear)

Sorry forgot to say the laptop is on yahoo and i never have a problem

Hey Charlie, no problems in Firefox here. I’m using Google Chrome as my primary browser now but I’m still developing and testing in Firefox. Keep me informed about this issue.

PurpLev, it’s not that, but a good suggestion anyway. Thanks.

I also have Firefox installed on my home computer as a secondary browser. I’m going to check and see if the behavior is consistent, or if it is confined to my setup here at the office.

I’ll keep you all posted.

Charlie, check Tools> Options> Privacy. You can see if your Clear Personal Info is checked and change it there, I think. I’ve been very happy with Firefox. It runs circles around Internet Explorer!

-- Mike in Manchester, NH---Unpleasant tasks are simply worthy challenges to improve skills.

Here is an odd twist:

If I have 2 or more tabs open, and choose the exit prompt to save my tabs for the next time Firefox starts, I remain signed in when I reopen the browser. But if there is only one open tab, you don’t get that option.

Additional note:

Now I checked “do not ask me next time” at the save tabs prompt, and it seems to be working right (keeping me signed in) even if I only had one tab open.

Bottom line: Problem solved…. I just don’t know why. :-)

I dont usee FireFox, I love using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

I use Firefox and have no problem. Hope you find the issue and get it corrected, as Firefox is a REALLY cool browser

Charlie: I have IE and i have the same problem. It cropped up when I installed the latest version of IE. It lost my automatically signin to lumberjocks.

Charlie and Martin: at the top of the Firefox browser click on “Tools” then “Options” then “Security” midway of that tab make sure you check “Remember Passwords for Sites”...MAKE SURE to then click the “Exceptions” button and list specifically those sites that store PERSONAL/FINANCIAL information so that Firefox DOES NOT remember them. Then you can click the SAVED PASSWORDS button to make sure you are only saving passwords you want to save.

Hope this helps…Larry

I have been using Google chrome, it’s so much faster than Internet Explorer or Firefox.

-- Tim: Remember, if it doesn't say Binford, someone else made it.

I’ve been using Firefox for several versions and have not had any issues… It is much less buggy and faster then explorer… Will try the google chrome … when I have some free time … hmmm …maybe sooner then I think.

Charlie, did you notice the extra bar appearing under the navigation bar?
“Do you want FF to remember this password?”

-- Fred

FireFox. Is that what Microsoft is calling it now? ;-)

Firefox remembers my password. Love it!

I have a Mac, & I used Firefox up until a new version Safari 4 started about a month ago.

It’s way faster so I don’t use firefox anymore.

I’m not sure if Safari 4 is available for window yet.

Oh, Firefox is so not from the geniuses of Redmond, WA.

And I didn’t even go into the story of how many hours I’ve spent trying to get IE7 or IE8 to run on my office computer without success. Thanks, Mr. Gates.

I think FF is great. I’ve had it for about 3 months, my wife has had it for a long time and turned me on to it. I really like the “coolpreviews” add on. I basiclly opens a window in your current screen without opening another tab/window for a quick look at a thread or whatever when the little blue box shows up. just hold your curser over it and the window opens.

Firefox works great for me. I love the different themes available. One in particular, Walnut, makes the whole browser look like wood.

I use Firefox on 2 computers. 1 is XP, the other is Vista. I stay signed into LJ , unless I run Disk Cleanup. Once I do that, I have to sign in again. It works this way on both . All the cookies and stuff is cleaned up when I close Firefox.

-- I'm a lumberjock and I'm ok, I sleep all night and I work all day!

I use multiple browsers including FireFox I think they all have their pro’s and con’s but somewhere in your settings your cookies are being deleted which is how the site knows it’s you I don’t have an answer just yet but I’ll look through the settings and see if I can find anything that might cause it.

Hey Charlie Joe again! Ok I check Firefox for it to work you need two thing under tools – options: Security remember passwords and until they expire, I would also check the stored password to make sure it is correct! Privacy you need cookies and third party cookies turn on. Check those settings and see if that helps..

-- SAEPE EXPERTUS, SEMPER FIDELIS, FRATRES AETERNI - "Often Tested, Always Faithful, Brothers Forever"

Thanks, Joe. I think I’ve got it working right now.

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

I use Firefox & find id much more to my taste than internet explorer. LJ’s works fine. I think you have to click on tools in the upper left, then options, then check allow cookies. THat’s how mine is set. -SST

-- Accuracy is not in your power tool, it's in you

I love Firefox, but this behavior seems odd. I finally figured out what it took to keep me signed in:

With cookies (including 3rd party) enabled, and Firefox set to open up with my home page, the LJ site still makes me sign in again on browser restart.

BUT,

If I set Firefox to start by opening the tabs I had open last session, the site recognizes me… EVEN IF I did not have a Lumberjocks tab open when I shut the browser down.

This is no big deal, but little unexplained stuff like this drives me batty. :-) (Yes, it’s a short drive.)

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Hey Charlie, with that kind of behavior you could have stayed with Internet Explorer.

Hey Charlie!
You should install the Lumberjocks toolbar, check it out.
