When I close the browser, I get logged off all my sites. What I mean is, for example, facebook. When I log in, i check the box to "stay logged in". however when i close my firefox browser, the next time i open up firefox and go to facebook, i need to log in again! I've never had this problem before and its not just with facebook, its gmail and any other site i use.
