Trouble With "Members Only" Sites

I have several websites where I am a paying customer to be able to access content. On some of them when I log into their site I am not recognized as being logged in, when I open a new tab on that site. On the New York Times website it will sometimes happen when I link to individual stories from the front page, but a simple page refresh then will show I am logged in.

On my job search website though Flexjobs (at www.flexjobs.com ) it almost always opens the page as if I am not logged in. It's maddening to have to log in again and then try to find where I was!

I'm running the latest version of Firefox, and have cleared the cache.

Firefox accepts special cookies so that the user is "remembered". If you clear the cookies that makes you not remembered or are if you are using Private Browsing mode those special cookies will disappear when Firefox is closed.

Try saving logins. Seps for the same:

  • Go to Preference(or type about:preferences in the address bar).
  • Go to Privacy and Security.
  • Enabe required options under Logins and Passwords.

Any improvements?
