Firefox Keeps Logging Me Out

Up until a couple days ago Firefox would keep me logged in on message boards, Gmail, Yahoo, etc. Now everytime I close the browser I have to log back in for all these websites. I haven't made any changes to my system except for updating Firefox to 3.0.2. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is anybody else having problems with this as well? It's really annoying because I visit a lot of the same websites daily and don't want to have to log in everytime I visit a page, especially since I've never had this issue before. Any help is appreciated. Where's Scorcho when we need him...

No, but Woot kept logging me out during the WootOff yesterday.

I've had the similar things happen since my most recent upgrade on Firefox. It doesn't happen on FF, but it does happen on other sites that I have used for years.

i'm not having that problem.

go to tools > privacy > then look at the cookies section and make sure both boxes are checked and then change the dropdown box in that section to "until they expire"

then stay on the privacy section and look below the cookies to the private data part. click setting and make sure cookies is unchecked this time

I've been reading some tech forums and it seems that the newest update to Firefox is causing some major problems and this is a common issue. I tried to go back to 3.0.1 but it still didn't fix the problem. I've gone back to Firefox 2 for the time being and everything is working fine again.
