Firefox not remembering that Im logged into forums

[swarfega]

Firefox crashed yesterday and now everytime I start it Im not logged into various forums so I have to keep logging in again. Ive tried clearing the cache files and OS temp folders.

All I can think of is to uninstall FF3 and delete all folders etc. and reg key and reinstall.

No need for full reinstall. I had the same issue, simply deleted the userfolder and everything works fine again.

It's a hidden folder in your userdirectory (\users\<yourusername>) called Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox. Just delete it and it'll work. You'll lose all your settings and userdata though, so you may want to type down the names of your extentions and themes so it'll be easier to download them again. Also save your bookmarks somewhere first, or they'll be lost.
