automatic sign in not working

[jimmybot]

I have xp with mozilla firefox as browser and recently sites that I use to log in automatically to , I now have to enter username and password every time.I have cookies enabled and in the privacy tab the box "always clear my private data" is unchecked. Any ideas??????

fixed. Must have been something with the registry because after I ran Regcure
the problem went away.

1. Best thing to do to undo/recover problems such as as this, or ANY software problem.
e.g. If Windows will no longer boot!
Or whatever.

(a) Move all [almost] data files off the Windows partition [C:?] to one or more other partitions.

(b) Make backups at sensible points [of partition contents, Windows in particular] as you move forward in time making changes to software and/or hardware.

(c)Image backups are good for keeping historic snapshots of the way things were at various points in time.

(d) The FREE version of SyncBack is good for making/restoring copies of the very latest folder/file contents of various Windows partitions [not Linux].


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(e) My latest method of doing (b), (c), and (d) is to use a puplet of Puppy Linux [i.e. BoxPup] as the OS environment within which to run various programs to do the work as follows:

(f) Run the FREE SyncBack under WINE to backup to [and restore from] a folder on a partition in an external USB HDD.

(g) Run "X File Explorer" [Xfe] with its dual panes to copy/restore the contents of any partition [Windows or Linux].
If you [use this or SyncBack, or any other to] copy, delete the original contents, then restore...
The restored contents will be PERFECTLY DEFRAGMENTED as a by-product.

(h) Use the included "Puppy Universal dd" [Pudd] to make compressed image backup files [.img.gz] files and save those on an external USB HDD.
