wife and i use same computer which is being treated as "public" forcing us to sign on repeatedl..this was not rue before a recent update! help?y
after a recent update - for security? - my wife and i have been forced to sign in on our regularly used pages/sites whereas before we were able to check the "keep me signed in" box and go back and forth without the tedious procedure of having to identify ourselves as though we were using a public computer...how can we get out of this without changing to another browser? we like firefox...

Are you both using the same user account or do you have different user accounts?
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
- Create an allow cookie exception (Firefox > Preferences > 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.

- In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
- Do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
