I finally decided to go with Firefox as my default browser, but I’m experiencing a rather aggravating problem. I can’t seem to stay signed in to the LJ site. Every time I shut down the browser and restart it, I have to sign in again. I have the options set to allow cookies, but I really don’t know what else to check. Anyone have experience with this issue? -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |

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. -- Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful- Joshua Marine |

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) -- ㊍ When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route. |

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. -- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka |

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 M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |

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 Concord, 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. :-) -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |

Charlie: I have IE and i have the same problem. It cropped up when I installed the latest version of IE.

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 -- Larry "Work like a Captain but Play like a Pirate!" |

I have been using Google chrome, it’s so much faster than Internet Explorer or Firefox. -- Good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement. |
