I have my sign in to save for 2 weeks but it seems to only last about 5 minutes.

I keep having to sign in constantly even when I haven't closed firefox and even after I have only been on for about 5 or 10 minutes...Even after looking in the forum then going back to email I had to sign back in.... I have tried clearing cookies and tried editing settings but there wasn't anything that needed changing. Nothing has helped. Nothing on virus scan or spybot, either...This is driving me insane!!

Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar. See Secure connection failed and Firefox did not connect

There is also security software that can lock the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies, so you can check that as well.

I figured it out. It all started when I installed the AVG tool bar...I figured out how to install it and voila! Problem solved! But thanks for the suggestion!
