Cookies

[saint1d]

Using FF 3.5.3 and it's set to store cookies, when I look at the cookie list they're all there, but websites aren't saving my user names, etc. Also down to 11 on Bush resets.

Only been having this problem since installing the newest version of FF and the options are a little different.

Privacy options are as follows...

Custom settings for history:
remember my browsing hsitory - not ticked
remember download history - ticked
remember search and form history - not ticked
accept cookies from sites - ticked
accept 3rd party cookies - ticked (keep until they expire)
clear history when FF closes - not ticked

Any ideas?

Go to MyDocument \ Application Data \ Mozilla \ Firefox\ Profiles
Find the "cookies.sqlite" and delete it. FF seem to have problem with
this file and it dont automatic write when FF close.
And it will work again.
If you dont see the Application Data, Click Tools on the explorer
taskbar, choose Folders Option , View, and uncheck Hide protected
system files.

That would be why your usernames aren't saving ;)

Yeah realised the form data and password and ticked it, forgot to update post.

MyDocument \ Application Data \ Mozilla \ Firefox\ Profiles
^^ cant find that even after following instructions. Unchecked hidden folders as well and ran a search for the file, but bought back no results.

I know this is just daft, but it seems to be ok now. Previously whenever I went into "options" menu it wasnt saving the settings, but it seems to be now. I will re-post later if start having the same problem again.

Thanks for your help ;)
