Hi

i've just installed Firefox 15.0 (windows xp) and it no longer remembers usernames and passwords on at least 3 websites where previously it would when i have "remember me" ticked. For example, twitter.

I have checked Tools/Options and I have Accept Cookies from Sites ticked with no exceptions

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?

There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

After a few experiments i have noticed that i had somehow accidentally checked "Always use private browsing mode" so there is no issue here and it can be closed. thanks ....
