Cookies Being Erased on Close in Firefox 3

singularity · 07-02-2008, 07:49 PM

All my cookies get erased whenever I close Firefox, even though in my Privacy settings I have it set to keep cookies until they expire. The "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox" box is unchecked. Below is a screenshot of my Privacy settings.

Thanks in advance.

I ventured into FF3 for a very short time and I had problems with the fact that there was no password manager in the Security Tab in Options when I installed it. It wasn't grayed out, it just wasn't there. Nothing, nada. But I still had the Exceptions buttons, etc.

If you don't have it either, maybe that might have something to do with it? Otherwise, your settings look okay.

You might try clicking "Always Clear" and go into the settings and check everything. Then close FF to do all that. Then reopen FF and un-click Always Clear and the other settings to see if that could somehow turn it on the way you want it.
