Clearing logins and passwords question

casterweb

Hi All

I share a laptop with others and I need to clear recent history, cookies, passwords etc. I use firefox as my browser.

So I go into: Tools> Clear recent history>and then I tick all the boxes and hit the "Clear now" button.

Now the next time I use the laptop, as expected, I have to re-enter all my login details to enter sites.............with the exception of one site!

This site always remembers my username and password even though I have cleared everything.

Why is this? and how can I ensure all my login and password details are deleted from ALL sites ?

Any suggestions welcome.

Download and install CCleaner. It cleans up lots of rubbish + cookies etc.

Some sites install "Flash Cookies" which are not deleted by the browser clean-up function. CCleaner will remove these Flash Cookies along with the usual types.

Why don't you use Firefox Portable Edition on a USB Flashdrive? More here
