Firefox 6 cannot keep me logged in, all cookies get deleted

I have read many post and tried some tips, like be sure private browsing in not enabled, check privacy settings and so on.

I Did the following :

  • Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
  • Created a new clean profile and deleted the old
  • deleted all FF installations/folders and cleaned out most of the registry
  • Installed FF5 , FF6 : no luck

Strange : When i close FF and restart, im still logged in. But when i restart PC, ALL cookies are gone/deleted!

Any thoughts? I see in the 'Installed plugins' box some plugins, even when i deleted things en re-installed?
