Firefox stopped logging me in automatically
I recently installed Dashlane=software that automatically logs you in to all of your site, including your password. I had some issues and deleted it. After deleting Dashlane, firefox no longer automatically logs me into any site any longer. I have a MAC 10.3.3 All the setting are correct for being automatically logged in I am sure it had something to do with installing this software Is there a solution?
Thanks Barb

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically. The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server. If this "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you will have to sign in once again. You can remove this "remember me" cookie to make the website forget you and require you to sign in again.
