I almost exclusively browse privately using Duckduckgo/Firefox. I have a few news subscriptions, and other sites which require login each time I open them, which is a bit of a nuisance. Some of them have a "remember me" checkbox, but it doesn't seem to work-I have to log in each time. Is there a way around this? By the way, the "Add Images" button on this page will not let me add a screenshot of the message I am getting.

thanks

You may be in Private Browsing mode or told Firefox not to remember.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.


Macs: Make sure you install Firefox properly and that you do not run Firefox from within the DMG (Disk Images) file. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
