Firefox regularly "forgets" my passwords when I need them for various sites, and I am compelled to re-enter them again, rather than finding them remembered. What's happening and how can I cure it?
This problem is particularly noticeable after Firefox updates, but it seems to occur on its own.

- Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
- You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
- Make sure that 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 cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.
Some cleanup programs can also remove the cookies,so you may have to check there as well if you use such programs (e.g. CCleaner)
