I set up Firefox with a home page. Sometimes it opens with that page BUT sometimes it goes directly to the Firefox page. What am I forgetting to do?

I set the home page to be the Weight Watchers TRACKING site. But sometimes it opens to the MAIN SITE rather than the TRACKING site for Weight Watchers.

I'm guessing that in order to use the tracking site you need to be logged in. When you are redirected to the main site, can you tell whether it's because you are not logged in?

Firefox usually retains websites' login cookies, but if you have changed the permission sites have to set cookies, or if you set Firefox to clear history, or if you have add-ons that manage privacy or cookies, or if you have external software that cleans up browser cookies, then the cookie might not be retained. It's a lot to check, I know...
