A couple weeks ago I cleared my cookies, and now websites that I log into frequently are not logging me in automatically like they used to. My username & password are being saved, and they auto fill but it's not logging me in. Why is this?

  • Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
  • You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
  • Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
