Cookies

For some reason, BD and a few others sites now want me to login every day, despite clicking on the save login option. This seems odd, I do accept cookies, but every morning or evening I get asked to login again.

Anyone got any ideas about what I've done?

Make an offering to the Cookie Monster, delete cookes, close and restart browser, login. Here endeth the lesson in cookie madness.

Nope, still being asked to sign in everywhere again, twice more at BD since I did this last night :s

you got a browser to delete cookies after every session?

jmc41 · 27-02-2009, 08:06

nope, just use FF3 though it did update itself a few days ago.

The only option I can find is one saying clear private data every time I close it, but it's unchecked!

Does it do the same with IE?

Don't tend to use IE at home for anything but work mail/citrix, I'll give it a try and see if it keeps things a little longer.

It's a bug in Firefox 3.

My browser is set to receive beta updates, and I just got offered 3.0.7 beta 2, which supposedly has a workaround.

FF has finally let me update to 3.0.7 (couldn't find the beta one) so should be good now thanks!
