(1) Web site requires you to sign in each time

Web sites generally remember your browser by a cookie they set.

If you have changed your cookie settings (for example, by clearing them using Clear Private Data when you close the browser) or installed new third party software (security suite, system cleaner, etc.), you might be clearing the site's cookie.

In some cases, it's possible that cookies can become corrupted. To clear the site's cookies, when viewing the site:

"right-click" (Mac equivalent!) and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

In that dialog, you can remove the cookies. After reloading the page, you should be required to log in again and the site will create new cookies.

(2) Remember font size setting

Are you using a feature of your email site to increase the font? If the site can't remember that for you, then there might be an indirect solution (a hack) to fix it. Which webmail site is it? There might be a userscript available.

If you mean Firefox's zoom setting, then Firefox should remember that between visits.

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

To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:

  • Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
