The problem with iwin.com is that it uses sends ajax requests to login via complicated JS instead of submitting the form.

There isn't a reliable way for a browser to know which requests are sending login data and which are just requests for data. So we look for forms being submitted.

As far as not staying logged in... do you have Firefox set to clear cookies? I would imagine that iwin.com is just setting a cookie so if that's being cleared you would be logged out. Firefox knows nothing about the checkbox being checked. That's something that iwin.com needs to handle.
