Windows 7 and Firefox

[+Skate and Jane]

Now have Windows 7 and when running Firefox can't seem to stay logged in!

Clicked the box to stay logged in and checked my internet options but every time I move a page it logs me out again

Only happens with Firefox and only on the geocaching website.

Is anyone else suffering the same way?

I know I can change to Google Chrome etc. but want to stay on Firefox.

Any help would be great.

I dont have any problems with 7 and firefox.

I use windows 7 as an administer. Does your windows account have admin permissions?

Try running firefox with elevated rights and see if that works.

You shouldn't need to run firefox with elevated privs. I would check that you've checked the option to accept cookies, and that you're not running any extensions that might be blocking cookies.

Thanks for your help guys. Still unresolved though Think I will have to move away from Firefox.

sounds like its a corrupt file (mouldy cookie!!) as it's only on this site.

try clearing those geocaching/Groundspeak forums cookies (tools/options/privacy/remore indvidual cookies) and then try again?

 

Failing that deleting the cookies file itself might work :

 

follow this and delete the cookies.sqlite file (with FF closed).

Note, you'll of course lose all cookies that way.

 

let us know how you get on!

I had this problem on Firefox /Win2k a few months ago and deleting cookies.sql fixed it
