why since I updated to FF 12 do I have to sign in to my home page (to see ny customization). In FF 11 I stayed signed in for 2 weeks. My cookies are clear =
I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF. I also have cleared my cookie cache. I have never had this problem with FF or with the My Yahoo home page with any of the previous versions of FF until FF12.
Chosen solution
Websites remembering you and automatically log you on 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.
Do not use Clear Recent History to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.
