Since I upgraded from Mac. 10.4 to 10.6, Firefox does not seem to be keeping my cookies. All preference settings are still okay. What can I do?

I am running Firefox 3.6.12. I am having to log in to EVERY password site I belong to, every time I start a new session: Facebook, my Wordpress account, member sites of every kind.

Even when I check "remember me," it is not doing so. When I look at my current cookies, these sites don't come up any more. The only thing that has changed is that I upgraded from Mac Tiger (OS 10.4) to Snow Leopard (10.6). Help!

If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Profile Folder in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
