I've checked the options for handling cookies and I've made sure that the browser does not automatically delete them upon being shut down, however the problem still persists, and I have to log into sites once again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Firefox. 2.Login to any site that requires user login. 3.Quit Firefox. 4.Reopen Firefox and go to the sites that you are logged in at and check if you are still logged in. Actual Results: I was logged out of any sites I was logged in to. Expected Results: Firefox should have kept me logged into the sites that I had logged in to, as it had been configured to keep cookies until they expired. about:buildconfig Source Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/f73e5032cfad Build platform target i686-pc-mingw32 Build tools Compiler Version Compiler flags cl 14.00.50727.762 -TC -nologo -W3 -Gy -Fdgenerated.pdb -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -Zi -Zi -UDEBUG -DNDEBUG -GL -wd4624 -wd4952 -O1 cl 14.00.50727.762 -GR- -TP -nologo -Zc:wchar_t- -W3 -Gy -Fdgenerated.pdb -wd4800 -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -Zi -Zi -UDEBUG -DNDEBUG -GL -wd4624 -wd4952 -O1 Configure arguments --enable-application=browser --enable-update-channel=nightly --enable-update-packaging --enable-jemalloc --enable-tests

Check if you have Permanent Browsing mode enabled. You can find it under preferences > privacy.

That's Permanent Private Browsing mode - you're always in private mode, which means that no cookies will ever be saved.

I've got Permanent Private Browsing mode off, never had any need to turn it on. Interestingly, I can open up the latest Namoroka (FF3.6.9b) build and I'm still logged into anything that I was previously logged in to.

Check browser.privatebrowsing.autostart and browser.privatebrowsing.dont_prompt_on_enter in about:config. If you don't have anything confidential in about:support, save it to a file and attach it here. I had a similar situation a while back where permanent private browsing mode was set (I don't know how, it wasn't intentional). Checking the prefs in the UI and in about:config fixed it for me then.

This also might be caused by bug 572223, which seems to have caused a few regressions.

And this is true using the same profile as your nightly build? Can you test the following: 1) Delete your cookies.sqlite file in your profile directory. 2) Browse using your nightly build. 3) Close the browser. 4) Browse using your Namoroka build on the same profile. Are you still logged in at step 4)? (Note: please test this on your current nightly build, not tonight's nightly -- the changes in bug 572223 have been backed out.)

Yes, I am using the same profile for all the builds. I've followed your steps and I am still logged in when browsing using the Namoroka build. This kind of thing wasn't happenening in the Minefield 4.0b2 builds, so it seems that it might just be confined to the Minefield 4.0b3 builds.

This is most likely fixed per bug 572223. Please reopen if you still see issues with tonight's nightly.
