Closing Firefox doesn't sign me off Gmail, contrary to Firefox 3.
I'm a new user of Firefox 6. I use Gmail and would like to sign off when I close Firefox, which was the default behavior in Firefox 3. Now I'm still sign in when I open Firefox, which means that anybody can see my emails if I forgot to explicitely sign off from Gmail before closing Firefox (or switching off my desktop for that matter).

You can set the pref browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
- Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
- Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
- Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

- Open gmail
- Click "Sign out"
- Log on again, but make sure "Remember Me" (or "Keep me logged in") is not checked.

Remember me was already unchecked. This doesn't change anything.
There's probably a permanent log-in cookie somewhere in your system. Try Clearing your cache and cookies.
Done that, thanks for the suggestion ! Not solving the problem however.
Assuming you've got a Gmail Account, do you have the same behavior on your browser ? Or not ?
Thanks.
