My pc keeps logging me out of sites

It just started today. I use Firefox, and whenever I open it and go to a site that I'm a member on, I have to sign in. Before, I'd always be logged in. I checked my settings, and everything is the same as far as I can tell.

    i do believe that ff just released an update. if you updated, it clears our your cookies and temp files. when it clears it removes all the saved settings you had. you entered all your user info into it once before and told it to remember it.

    Go to Tools>Options>Privacy tab. Make sure "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox" is NOT checked.

    This happens to me, on occasion, but it's because the site itself has reached the time limit it remembers me (cookie expires). Since I visit the same sites almost every day, when I log into them, I log into them all on the same day, meaning the cookies expire on the same day too.

    I had this problem. I just needed to delete my cookies file for firefox.

    C:\Documents and Settings\ [username] \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ [profilename, or random shit] \cookies.sqlite
