If I log onto a web-site, any web-site, and change pages while remaining on the web-site, I will be logged off and will have to sign in again for the individual page I tried to change to. Even if I stay on the page, and merely refresh the page, I will be logged off.

This can be caused by corrupted cookies or cookies that are blocked otherwise.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
