How can I keep current website login active even after restarting browser so I don't have to login each time?
I'm trying to firefox within another application (digital signage presentation) to display a particular website that requires a login each time the site is accessed either after a restart of the browser or opening the site in a new tab. Is there a way around this? To always have firefox run that page in the background even if told to restart?
