    I've deleted the cookies and my stored password and tried it again, but after I load a few pages I will log out. Any thing I can do to fix it?

    PS: Yes, I have the 'remember me?' box checked.

    When you delete cookies - do you exit your browser and then log back in?

    Hmm. Didn't work. I never had any problems with FF2.

    Odd - perhaps try changing your password?

    Nope. Not a big deal. Maybe the first update will fix something.

    FYI,

    I have installed Firefox 3 on three different computers. I have noticed this issue on only of my installs.

    Update

    Installed Firefox 3 on a 4th computer. If I close the browser, I do not stayed logged in.

    Nothing major, just annoying.

    FYI,

    Firefox 3 has an option to store third party cookies. There is also another option that says to only store them until Firefox is closed. It appears that when you install FF3 on a XP machine, the default installation checks this option. Uncheck that option, and the problem is solved.

    The easiest solution is often the most likely one...
