Firefox not remembering
-
Ok so downtown had a power outage earlier today. The entire courthouse and surrounding blocks were out for about 20 min. After power was restored I started my machine up and got back to work. Upon looking at this and other forums I had to login to each again. No big deal however now every time I close Firefox I have to log back into any forum I visit. It remembers if I have a session of FF open but as soon as I close FF I am out of luck.
I have the latest version of FF. I am checking the "remember me" boxes and I seem to have the proper settings in FF selected. Nothing other than the power outage has changed. I have restarted my machine a couple times.
Any suggestions?

Did you check if cookies are still allowed? Maybe the configuration was a bit confused.
-
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?
-
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.defaultThe two that were corrupted were:
cookies.sqlite
cookies.sqlite-journalDelete 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? -
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?
(Every forum not just Sketchucation.)
