Hotmail does not login automatically when I have logged in once before with version 5.0 even though I have requested passwords to be saved
Even though I have set my Firefox 5.0 to remember passwords, when I go into hotmail I have to put in my username and password every time. How can I change this so it does it automatically?

-> click Firefox button and click Options -> Privacy -> History section -> Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History" -> REMOVE Checkmark from Permanent Private Browsing mode -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> click Exceptions... button -> type the addresses of the websites from which you want to Allow Cookies to be stored e.g. login.live.com , hotmail.com , live.com , msn.com -> click Allow for each, one by one 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> Keep Until : select They Expire
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> click Firefox button and click Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites

Check and tell if its working.

Try the following: 1. Update FF to the latest version. 2. Try clearing the settings, and your cache and then save new settings. 3. Try not using the Private Browsing option when trying to log in automatically. Good Luck!

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.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
You're a genius, thanks it now works
