Firefox 5.0.1 will not remember my.msn user name (Windows Live ID) and password
I use my.msn (http://my.msn.com/) as my home page. Firefox 5.0.1 does not seem to remember the Windows ID and password necessary to sign in automatically, and instead delivers the page https://login.live.com/ every time. I have tried every possible combination of settings at Tools > Options > Privacy but have been unable to resolve the issue.

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.
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
- In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
- Do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
Thank you very much! That was the one setting I had not experimented with. Problem solved!
You're welcome
