Having to sign in on every page??

in Techie Stuff
I have an Acer Aspire One netbook on Linux and recently it won't store the details for website so that it logs on automatically. For example when I used to click on Facebook in the bookmarks it would go straight to my homepage, but now I have to sign in everytime! This is happening on every website, even though I tick the 'remember me' box, and cookies are enabled in the settings bit.

Any ideas?
Thanks, Saz x
:heart2: THANK YOU MARTIN!! :heart2:

    You could have a dodgy persistent cookie, clear them all out and personal data in the browser and try again.

    Look to see when cookies are deleted.

    Mine is set to "whenever they expire". Yours could be set to "all the time" or something.
