My cookies disappear when I close Firefox and reopen it. This started about two days ago. Even my Yahoo mail now forces me to login every time. Prior to this, it would retain the login and password for two weeks. What is causing this?

My bank (ING) has cookies that retain my login. Without the login, I have to answer the challenge questions every time. I am not set for private browsing and I have accept cookies from third party sites and until they expire.

As a follow up, I've discovered that this is happening in IE on the same websites. When I log into a different computer and test the same scenarios, the cookies do not disappear. It seems to be a problem on my computer. However, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be glad to hear it.
