active logins
I have FF27 and active logins is really annoying me.
I have the following history settings configured; use custom clear history on exit settings for clearing history are; browing and d/l history form and search cookies cache
i have unchecked active logins as i want to click a website (forums) and be auto logged on
but this is not happening unless I let FF remember history.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
