Why do I have to sign in to everything on the internet after a reboot? I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 64, no Antivirus for now, and the latest version of Firefox. Everytime I restart my PC and connect to the internet I have to log in to everything again. Is it a setting in Firefox or Windows that is making me log in to everything everytime I connect? I'm also on AT&T DSL.

This doesn't really belong in the "Homebuilt Systems" section, but I'll answer anyway. It sounds like Firefox is set up to delete cookies when you close Firefox. You can tell Firefox how long to keep cookies in the "Privacy" section of the options menu. You can also have Firefox keep passwords if you would like.

I know I should probally join the Firefox forums, but is there a section here where this post fits better? As for Privacy in Firefox, everything appears normal. Could Windows defender be deleteing cookies on me?
