not auto loggin into websites like mse

mug51

Hi,

Had a problem a few days ago, all of a sudden everytime I turn on my computer and open up my browser (firefox) and visit sites like mse and google, I am no longer logged in automatically even though I have clicked the remember me box.
Anyone know what may be causing this, thought it was a one off but havent been auto logged in for the past few days.

Thanks

Sounds like you or somebody else has deleted the cookies - have you ran any cleanup software recently?

Go to tools -> internet options -> settings (under browsing history) and check the number at the bottom of the screen (number of days to keep browsing history)

it says 10 days

I think I have sorted it
mine was due to virgins privacy manager
op if you have this check your settings .. mine was set to clear all temp files and cookies every hour!

i ended up re-installing firefox and seems to have worked, although i have not yet totally shut down my computer since the re-install only been on stand by so far.

Let us know how it goes?
I'll defiantly give it more thought if this hasn't solved your problems

yep, all sorted now, still not sure why it started to not log me in

if anyone does get this problem, then a re-install should work, but you may want to backup all your bookmarks and then import them into the fresh version.
