Tried using the "Remember Me" feature of Facebook, Trade Me or any other website only finding out that the next time you open your browser it doesn't actually "Remember You"?

This happened to me and thankfully I have found a fix!

Basically the file that stores all Firefox's cookies on your computer has become corrupt (I think this happened when I upgraded to Firefox 3.5), so you need to delete it - forcing Firefox to create a brand new one for you.

Here is how you fix it:

• Find your Firefox "Profile" folder (for example "C:\Users\Phill\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles"):
  Go here to see how you can find the "Profiles" folder on your computer: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
• You will now see a folder in the Firefox Profiles directory
• Open this folder
• Delete the files "cookies.sqlite" and "cookies.sqlite-journal"
  (Make sure Firefox has been completely closed first!)
• Restart Firefox and the problem should now be fixed!
