Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

I recently changed to this version of Firefox because my previous version was crashing all the time. However every time I open CF it wants me to log in, how do I make it remember? Also is this the most up to date version of Firefox?

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

No problem here on a quick test

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Yep once more had to log in. Kymmy is there someway I can use the internet options in 'tools', maybe I have the wrong options ticked.:dozey:

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

You could try removing the saved password and clearing your cookies and starting over again (you are also ticking the remember me box on login? (I think it's ticked by default)

To remove the saved password go to TOOLS >> OPTIONS >> SECURITY >> SAVED PASSWORDS

To clear cookies go to TOOLS >> OPTIONS >> PRIVACY >> CLEAR INDIVIDUAL COOKIES then remove the cable forum one or you can just click on REMOVE ALL COOKIES which will mean you have to log back into all the sites you use. (sometimes though this is the only way)

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

There is usually a Remember me tick box by the login. What add-ons do you have? These should also be updated where possible.

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Tried that Kymmy, still have to log in.

Yes Angua the Remember me box is ticked, but makes no difference, also looked to see if add-ons are up to date.

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

The only thing I can suggest is re-installing the update as perhaps the one you did got slightly corrupted. - This does seem to be an occasional problem with Firefox.

I am on Firefox 3.6.8 with Adblock plus, Flashblock, No-Script, Personas, Taco, Utopia supermode. colourful tabs & Java console.

Angua good of you to help. This version of Firefox is not an update it is a different version from my previous version which I think was beta, and was causing all sorts of problems, so I opted for this version. I may have to think about uninstalling/reinstalling it as you suggest. It's doing my head in.:D

Strangely, I just found out I have to log in to CF on IE. What's going on?

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Which version of windows are you running? If vista or Win7 does it think you're on a public network??

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center to find out if you're on the above mentioned OS's and it'll either say WORK/HOME or PUBLIC network

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Kymmy it says HOME, and my OS is Vista home premium. This is just something that has happened recently, hope I have not got myself a virus or summit!:erm:

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

You could copy us off a HIJACKTHIS log, any rougue DNS settings/BHO's will show on that

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Go to Tools>Options>Privacy and check your Private Data settings, sounds like you have the box checked for "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox"

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Yes dave you were right problem appears to be solved.:hyper: Ta muchly you have been most helpful, thanks also to Kymmy and Angua much appreciated.

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Glad to be able to help, it's these little things that are so easily overlooked that can drive you mad with PCs!!! :)

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

:clap: nice find Dave, not a FF user that much myself as I only have it for CSS/Firebug ;)

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Thanks for that, it is appreciated.

I've been using FireFox as browser of choice for years. First thing I do with any browser is set the privacy settings as I don't save any passwords or usernames, etc. on my main PC so I did know where to go for this problem!!!

Another thing I do, is on my laptop I use FireFox for all "secure" computing with privacy settings set to clear everything on exit, and I have IE8 and Opera with less draconian settings for less sensitive stuff. Maybe it's overkill but better safe than sorry I say!!! :)

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

If you want to be automatically logged into everything all the time without sacrificing security, check out Lastpass via your favourite search engine. It is a secure password manager that allows you to take your passwords with you across browsers and on any PC.

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

I have just started using Firefox Sync for bookmark syncing and have just found out it does passwords too, is that thee same sort of thing as Lastpass?

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Take a look at https://lastpass.com/ and draw your own conclusion. I think you'll like it.

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Yes i kinda know what it is, it seems to to let me save my passwords with them and stop me forgetting rather than have them sync on both computers, it may come in handy if i was to forget passwords or not have them saved on my computers for security reasons. :)

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Yes - you log into Lastpass with one password and it takes care of logging into everything else for you. Also fills forms and credit card details if you want it too.

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

I use Sxipper as it signs you in automatically and can fill in forms for you.

If you google it supports most browsers.

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

I'd never trust anything with my credit card details lol

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

Neither do I, although lastpass is very handy for forums.etc

Also if you have the paid version (which is only a few $) you can setup multifactor auth.etc

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

I've used it since about 0.3 when it was called Weave, but I've always held the server locally. It used to be a right pain when they kept changing the server setups. Great piece of kit, and I think the sync is becoming integral to 4.x.

Now if only it would work in Thunderbird as well...

Re: Firefox 3.6.8 wants me to log in to CF
 

I've recently experienced the same problem, although not immediately after upgrading to 3.6.8. Although it may have just been a coincidence, it happened after applying a MS update(XP security fix). The username/passwords were still 'remembered', so I didn't have to try to recall the details, but the cookies(I assume) that tells the sites to remain logged in, seem to have gone. This happened to all sites(eg Radio Times) that I use, not just CF. I'm not quite sure how the proposed solutions would help, as the problem was that you do not normally have to be logging in at all.
