    Firefox doesn't remember

    Hi,
    Something is wrong with my Firefox. In the forms, sometimes it remembers but sometimes it doesn't. Like in Google, it auto completes only certain searches, and actually none of the latest. Actually, Google does remember as long as I don't restart Firefox, then it forgets (I already checked the options and the choice to erase the private data on exit is not checked). This happened before and after I formated my PC (and with a fresh Firefox recent installation), so I don't know what it might be.
    Any help would be appreciated, I really don't want to go back to Internet Explorer.

    Try uninstalling and reinstalling? It sounds like you have the feature 'Delete all cookies when closing FireFox' enabled. I use that feature as well. If you want to disable, goto Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> And uncheck 'Always clear my private data when I close FireFox'. If it's already unchecked, then just do what I first told you to do.

    It is unchecked. And do you really think it has to do with re-installing, after all, I did have this issue before re-formating my PC, and reinstalling Firefox.

    I suspect something is wiping the cookies from your FF folder. Make a backup of it and compare 2 hours from now after intense surfing.
