Firefox Question. Why does Firefox not recall i am logged in on DU?

[miss_kitty]

yes. i checked the box under my sign on over and over again, in the hopes, like a puppy being housebroken, it will catch on. I have uninstalled an reinstalled-the latest last night to upgrade. i also uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla 1.7.2. i get to the main page fine, all logged in, on Mozilla and AOHell. The Passwords stored in Firefox look good. WTF else do I need to do here to get Firefox to recognise i am logged in? (PS-it Did work a few times when i first started here. it also remembers if i go away and come back-it forgets if i close Firefox)

1. It might not be Firefox

Do you have some program that's cleaning cookies or rejecting them?

I use Firefox (currently last night's build) and don't have this problem.

3. i do scrutinise cookies and the DU cookie is allowed

this is true on my other browsers.

2. Check this

Tools --> Options
Click on the Privacy icon on the left hand side
Click on the little arrow icon next to Cookies to expand the options under Cookies if you need too
Make sure 'Allow sites to set cookies' is checked
Make sure the drop down list is set to 'Keep cookies until they expire'

7. does that accept all cookies?

i have it on 'ask me every time' and that works elsewhere...in my exceptions, DU is 'Allowed for session,' i have tried to change that to 'Allowed', but it reverts when i leave. i checked 'stored cookies' and there are 6. 2 are long-term, 4 are set to 'expire at end of session'

4. I've been having a problem with staying logged in

for the last few days...I use IE6 though.

5. I use firefox too

but I'm not having that problem. I'm going to investigate some of my settings. Maybe some of use can come up with something for you try.

6. no problem here, either

but I have not found a reason (beyond those previously discussed in this thread) that would be the big problem...only thing I could think of is a firewall at the office somehow blocking the cookie...

8. home computer. i have ZAPRO 4. it has caused me

trouble in the past, but i have mozilla and firefox on 'allow' and 'remember'

9. well, the quick test

would be to disable zone alarm (for a short while) and see if the problem goes away...if it does...you know the culprit...if not, more digging.

Good Luck!

10. actually, i just checked the cookies stored on mozilla for DU and

there are only 3 over there. two longterm and on temp

11. bad cookies

thanks all...i deleted the 'exception' entry and deleted the 4 temps out of 'stored', signed off, signed back on 'Allowed' a cookie and logged in, then signed off again, signed back on, and it worked...this time anyway :)

thanks for helping! :hi:
