I have enabled the feature in the Windows Live Messenger so I dont have to enter the password to check my hotmail account. I have always used Internet Explorer and I never had this problem as I always check my email through my live messenger. When I set Mozilla firefox as my default browser this feature doesnt work anymore and I have to re-enter my hotmail password when I had already entered it when sign in to the Live Messenger.

Windows Live (Hotmail) uses a lot of domains to create cookies (live.com passport.net), so you have to check which domains are required to remember you.

It still doesnt work. I dont think it will ever work using Mozilla Firefox as I have no problem using Internet Explorer. I am sure many people will be affected by this and there has to a solution for this otherwise I have to go back to using Internet explorer.
