In earlier versions of the browsers out there, they didn't used to clear the cookies every time you closed the browser. (for the most part, cookies are harmless snippets of code that keep up with your login and password status for a web site. 99.9% of all web sites that have a login procedure use them, so don't be scared of them).

- Go to your Firefox (or other browser) preferences;
- In Firefox, you're looking for the Privacy Options.
- If you tell it to clear your history when you close the browser, it will ALWAYS delete the cookies, meaning you have to continually log in.

- -- UNCHECK "cookies".
