Firefox has started this nasty habit of forgetting my sessions/not automatically logging me in on sites i visti frequently.. I've tried clearing cache and cookies with no help..

Any ideas?

Join the club mate. I have that as well as it forgetting address-bar history, stored usernames/passwords for some sites and even pages themselves (ie, sometimes I'll be browsing here and suddenly the page has to load everything again, all background images and user avatars too)

Annoying as piss and I've not found a solution for it yet either.

Seriously considering it. Either that or switching browsers entirely.

Works like a charm here. Try installing it again (but backup your bookmarks)

In May, when they add extensions, it'll be the best browser. Can't beat the speed.

Clearing the entire private data (not only cache and cookies) has always fixed it for me...

Well i'm not switching browser Smile

FF3 with practically the same extensions at work, and no problems there. Will try a complete reinstall when i get home, that should fix it.

Or perhaps FEBE. I have them both and don't know which is better.

FEBE is only for extensions, while MozBackup can backup a lot more stuff (like bookmarks, passwords, cookies, etc, even temp files).
