Hi, recently my firefox has been playing up. As stated in the question, in my privacy settings I have made it so firefox doesn't remember my history when I close it. However, recently, when I open eg: facebook, it doesn't require a password.

This never used to happen. Also, if go in the options for 'settings' for privacy, I ticked box that says clear cookies. However, when I open firefox and check the settings, the box is UNTICKED.

Thanks.

See:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
