I download movies from hotfile and rapidshare and manually enter passwords for each, but when I turn computer off or reboot Mozilla doesn't remember these passwords and I have to re-enter them again. Why?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I turn off computer and then restart

  • Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
  • You must allow that cookie (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions), especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
  • Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
