<![CDATA[[Solved]Keep signed in using Firefox?]]>I've started using Firefox more often as Opera 12 has stopped working properly on some sites I use regularly. I can't use the latest Opera versions because I'm still on Windows XP.
One thing I've noticed is that I now have to sign in again here every time I visit with Firefox, whereas Opera 12 would almost always automatically sign me in.
Is that expected behaviour? There doesn't seem to be any "keep me signed in" option as there is on some forums, but I have never seemed to need it before.

I seem to be being logged in automatically every time I visit with Firefox now, so I guess it was a temporary glitch.

I just came back here today, and I'm still logged in!
Maybe the problem, if indeed there was one, has resolved itself.

The only thing regular that I think there is is that you get logged out when you haven't used the browser for a while, with the forums that is.

Think of it as quantum physics, don't worry too much*;)*

Some are set to run on boot and automatically delete cookies. If so, restarting the OS will log you out.

'm still signed in from weeks ago, but obviously if recent sign-ins aren't working right I wouldn't know it.

In Opera Developer I've been logged in since a while and until earlier today it hadn't changed. However all new logins with other browsers seem to be kept just while the browser are opened.

You might explore whether that's involved with your problem.

Still logged in when I came back to read this, I'll see if I still am tomorrow!

I've just come back here now and I'm still logged in, but I bet I won't be if I come back tomorrow!
I'll let you know.

With Vivaldi (another chromium-based browser), I'm having no problems staying logged-in unless I don't visit Opera's sites for a number of days and its cookies are thereby allowed to 'expire'.

There doesn't seem to be any "keep me signed in" option

There is no such option but as long as you don't logout you should remain logged in. At least for a long while.

Anyway, I'm seeing the same issue with Chrome and Opera.
