internet problem

[large_steve182]

got a problem
i usually leave automatic sign in on all my stuff like forums etc. as im lazy and nobody else uses this computer.
but for some reason now when i go onto them im signed out and i have to sign in again everytime i close firefox.
i have cookies enabled etc but dont know what it is

this happened the other day after downloading a months supply of naughty movies. so virus??

help appreciated

[large_steve182]

anyone?

Same happened to me last week, i did a bit of research and it seems to be a virus but my avg wont find it? I know fark all about virus's as you can see.

[large_steve182]

mines came directly after downloading some naughty videos so i dno if it were in them.
my avg hasnt picked anything up either

[large_steve182]

mines seems to have fixed itself of its own accord just a minute ago.
dno whats happened. hopefully stays.

Could be firefox not shutting down cleanly.

AVG is poo these days, try Avast or Malware Bytes instead.

rock out a ctrl shift delete when you have firefox open, close firefox, pc off, pc on, open firefox sign in again, see if it keeps!

^ ctrl alt delete? That won't help as you're doing a kill -9 on the firefox process and stopping it from closing cleanly.

It WOULD be worth looking in task manager when you close firefox normally to see if its hanging around in memory - I sometimes find the process takes a while to close even though the gui application has gone, if you shutdown the computer before that process ends that could be whats stopping it from saving its settings.

My firefox is doing the same, thought it may have been the cookies, so cleaned them but still nothing - anyone sorted this yet?

Google chrome FTW been using it a while and its doing the job REALLY good :D

strangely enough i meant ctrl SHIFT delete!

which brings up the privacy options box to clear cookies history ect, also known as the porn box lol

[large_steve182]

so you guys have similiar taste in porn or its firefox being a douche

[Tidy Max]

yeah im in to douche porn lol

hopefully this will sort it :

follow that ^ and click the .default profile, close firefox and delete 'cookies.sqlite' file (or rename it)

Worked for me :)
