I have different problems with different web sites. Specific examples: When log in to Juno.com to read my email sometimes I get a blank page and have to refresh to actually have the page to load.

When I log in to Juno.com to read my email, if I want to read some of the news items shown I just get a blank page after I click on the article I want to read. Hitting refresh will not work like above. I still just get a blank page.

When I try to log in to EA.com nothing happens after I enter my info and hit enter. It just sits at the log in page.

Sometimes my log in info for other sites goes away. Such as my log in info will sometimes no longer be there when logging in to MaximumPC.com. I have to manually log in and have to check the remember me box.

I have none of these problems with IE.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you on 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.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

Do not use Clear Recent History to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
