Click on "tools" then "options" then "security". Is "remember passwords" checked? If not click on it so that a tick appears in the box

 

[libby lou lou]

Thanks for your reply, yes, it's already ticked ?

 

[jj4091]

Then try "tools" "options " & "privacy". Is "accept cookies from sites" ticked? It should be. You can also select which sites you want to allow or ban on that page if you do not want "all sites" Also set "accept cookies" to "always" if it says "never"

 

[libby lou lou]

Sorry, it does not say that about cookies, it asks if i want to be tracked/ not tracked/not to say anything.

Are you using "Private Browsing" Mode ?

Hi Libby

Out of curiosity, if you haven't disabled or un-installed MS Explorer, does the same thing happen on that search engine?

I tried Chrome and Firefox but went back to Int. Explorer because it's what I am familiar with and despite the hype...

Newer isn't always better

Oh, er, yeh

I'm reminded of a post on another forum i saw yonks ago from an erudite poster who's sig went something like..

"The box said Windows XP or better, so I installed Ubuntu".

Confession. I understood the joke but that was all... Add. But I've just interrupted your much more useful post above soz.

 

[CylonRaider]

Never mind

Raider, i was set on not to be tracked, but that;s after changing it from what yours is now.
Thought i sussed it for a while leaving diynot and coming back,i was still signed in but an hour later................

 

[jj4091]

In the same history box select "use custom settings for history" from the drop down menu, set it to that & you will get the options I mentioned previously.

 

[CylonRaider]

Libby.. I wasn't on about tracking. I meant remember history tab as
JJ4091 correctly stated .. I should've posted a screengrab from that option

So here is one.. Make sure private browsing isn't ticked or your browser wont remember anything

 

[libby lou lou]

Hi, yes, i'm set up like that shown. I was cleaning the laptop and went across the keys with a baby wipe whilst the machine was on?

Is the box "clear history when firefox closes" ticked? If so un-tick it.
If that does not fix it then try resetting Firefox as shown here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems & if that fails your last resort is a complete uninstal & re-download of Firefox
