Computer does not remember my bank details
I have the option on the page openning my bank account to remember my customer number and DOB. I tick the option but it is never remembered . I suspect I have chosen an option in Firefox that causes this but I do not know which option. Barry Cross

You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:
- create a cookie allow exception with the proper protocol (https:// or http://) to make the website remember you
- use "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" to let cookies without allow exception expire when Firefox is closed
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Permissions"
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the Cookies
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
[X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
- clearing "Cookies" will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an allow exception you may want to keep

This is most likely not a Firefox issue. Most banks that I know actively disable the possibility of saving these details for security reasons (which is stupid, I know). If you would like to be sure, please tell us which bank are we talking about.
