Cookies expire at end of session, even though I have ticked the box for continued usage.
My bank site does not remember that I have logged in before, and I have to reenter verification information each time I log in. I always tick the box for using this computer again, but when I check the cookies, they always expire at the end of the session. This just started happening about two or three months ago, and it only happens to this particular website. What can I do to make the cookies permanent?

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
Do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences" Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
