Firefox not remembering

I will check in the morning when I get back to the office. Thanks for the reply.

Maybe clear sketchucation cookies if nothing else helps and log in again.

Well it is happening with every forum or form I log onto, not just SketchUcation. When I get into the office this morning I think I will clear all the cookies and restart. Hopefully that will do the trick. Maybe our power outage (surge) burned the cookies.

Well no go.
Dang this is getting frustrating. Firefox is remembering my passwords but not logging me in automatically to anything
I tried Internet Explorer and it is functioning properly so it has to be a Firefox setting that is not right.
Grrr.

I just reinstalled Firefox and the problem is still there. I am going to feel real stupid when I find out the problem I am sure

This happened to me before and i was advised to install 'cCleaner' http://www.ccleaner.com

Analyse with this program and then run cleaner

Restart PC and next thing it worked fine?

Also i disabled plugins for FF and see if that helps?

boofredlay

Thanks Rich but that would not have helped. I do have CCleaner.

I have fixed the problem. After reading help logs on Mozilla it turns out to be a couple of corrupt files in the Profile way down deep:
C:\Documents and Settings\eric.LOCAL\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ucobnvhd.default

The two that were corrupted were:
cookies.sqlite
cookies.sqlite-journal

Delete and restart.

I am glad I found it and I don't feel so embarrassed as it was not a simple setting.

Hm. Should I (no - I WILL) bookmark this post.
Does it really work?

boofredlay

Works fine now. Evidently this is a common problem. There were a number of topics I found regarding the issue dating back a few years.

I have this exact problem with IE8 but NOT with Firefox. Any ideas?
