Gaming Firefox deleting cookies

[monkeyboi]

Upon closing firefox and opening it again, I noticed that all my cookies were deleted. It happens everytime I open and close firefox. I looked at the settings and they were fine. I've also uninstalled and installed firefox too and it remained the same. Any idea how to fix it? Its getting pretty annoying. Thanks.

Go to Tools>Options>Privacy and check the cookies settings, hope that the problem.

Tools > Options > Privacy Tab > Keep Until: They expire.

I do have it checked, didn't solve the problem.

 

[Banger]

IT is not something you check it is a drop down menu.

 

[monkeyboi]

Oh.. well yeah I do have it set there.

Heres how it looks like:

Which version of firefox?

 

[monkeyboi]

3.0.4

 

[Banger]

In my experience and opinion Firefox version 3 is horrible. Try finding a copy of FF2 or try out Chrome or Opera.

I see... well thanks for the help Banger. If anyone else have any helpful tips, let me know.

Heres how it looks like:

Click on "Settings" and you should see some options, one of them is "Cookies", make sure it's unchecked.

 

[monkeyboi]

It's unchecked.

Do you have any privacy cleaners like CCleaner?

 

[monkeyboi]

Nope, but I do have AVG Free edition, Avast, and Avira. You think thats the problem?

 

[B-Blue]

hmmm.. you have AVG, Avast and Avira installed together?

Anyway, the problem is not from FF3, but try using FF2 and see what happens

 

[monkeyboi]

Firefox 2 works fine. Maybe I'll switch back to Firefox 2 then.

Dewd, just use the one Anti-Virus. Using 3 will take up all your PC's resources, plus they'll conflict and do worse together than one would by itself.

It is possible that one of those programs is deleting your cookies. Look through their options.

That.

I still don't understand why people need 2+ crappy/not crappy antiviruses and think that it makes total security. It doesn't and it'll just create more problems. Use 1 good AV, like NOD32 or Kaspersky.

I see, well at first I had only AVG. Then I wanted to try different virus scanners. So I got Avira and Avast. I'm starting to like Avira better because it has a better detection rate but it's really slow. I'll uninstall AVG and Avast and see and what happens.

After I uninstalled AVG and Avast, it remained the same. I also made sure Avira isn't deleting the cookies.

Yes!! I solved my problem! In case anyone runs into this problem, delete cookies.sqlite and permissions.sqlite in your profile folder for Firefox. Also, thank you everyone for trying to help me!
