Details
On what seems to be a random basis, my Bugzilla login cookies are just remove. I
allow them to be saved, and they show an expiration of 2037 or something like
that, but a week or two later I have to login again. Looking at the cookie file
verifies that the cookies are indeed gone.
try disabling "restrict this session to this IP address" when you login.

Check also the value of the 'rememberlogin' parameter in editparams.cgi. If this
parameter is 'off', cookies are deleted every time you log out.

I will try the IP address thing. It didn't occur to me since it says "this
session", not forever.
I am reporting this against bugzilla.mozilla.org. I do not have the ability to
edit any of the CGI.

I tried unchecking the "restrict to this IP" option on the very day it was
suggested. Today, when I went to file a new bug report I was asked for my login
information. The Bugzilla cookies were gone from the cookies.txt file.

It is because of my IP address. My IP was switched by my ISP last night. So,
even with the option unchecked, a different IP will erase login cookies.
