    So the last couple of days my internet  has not been saving my passwords, logins, or even my email/sn on my normal sites.  I have been looking around the setting for help but nothing. Do anyone know how to fix this.
    IF I tell the site to save my sn or keep me logined in, it will until i close the window.
    I use mozilla firefox by the way.
    thank in advance

    Yep, it sounds like you have disabled persistant cookies. If you don't have the "persistant" variety enabled, it won't save anything after the browser is closed.

    Go to the Tools -> Options -> Privacy

    Under the "Cookies" section, make sure that the "Keep Until:" drop down list is set to "Until they Expire"

    Or you could use a browser that isn't ranked number one for the most vulnerable software for Windows for 2008... /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif

    Anyway, JB has it right. 9 times out of 10, there is a keystroke combination that can enable/disable things such as that and people accidently hit them without ever knowing they did it until things like this happen.
