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?

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)

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

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

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?

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

Tinky 31-07-2010 11:34

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:

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

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"
