Why doesn't Firefox remember user names and passwords? I have ticked the box in "options", but to no avail: everytime I log into gmx.com & The Times, for example, I have to enter my details. This is NOT the case with Explorer. Both sites blame Firefox for the problem, by the way.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.

  • Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
