How can I get firefox to remember my user name for accounts that I access frequently?
I always check the box asking do I want firefox to remember my user id so that I do not have to fill it in each time I go online. However, every time I go to these same websites, it never remembers my id. Is there a setting that I am overlooking to prevent this from happening?

- 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.
- 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.
