Every time I start up Firefox it takes me to a generic iGoogle sign-in page and I have to enter my username and password to get to my iGoogle http://www.google.com/ig home page. This is already set in my General Tab under Tools.

This was working just fine until about a week ago. I'm not sure what was changed. Somewhere along the line I did upgrade to FF 7.0.1

Please help!!

Thanks very much,

Alan

Delete you google and igoogle cookies.

Here is what you would find over at Google:

to clear your cache in Firefox

Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > "Clear now"

to clear selected/specific cookies in Firefox, use the search to locate "google" cookies and then use delete

Thanks very much for the help. All better now but not how you suggested. I had accidentally checked the Cookies and Cache boxes to be cleared every time I exited Firefox.....Duhhh
