I think your problem was caused by the duplication of cookies when you imported them.

Seems to work OK after clearing Firefox's cookies, I've been logged in for 4 or 5 days now with no trouble at all

Hmmm... Importing cookies from IE seems to duplicate them (in previous Firefox versions it did) so, when I upgraded to latest I did not import.

When I installed Firefox, it prompted me if I wish to import IE's cookies to Firefox so I selected "yes". I think the imported cookie was the problem because after I did as you told me slennox (clear cookies) I've been logged in for 2 days now with no problems and I did open and close IE and still logged in on IE as well.

Will tell you if I get logged out again.

If I:

1. Clear cookies in both browsers and close both.
2. Open Firefox, visit the forum and log in with the "automatically" box checked, close Firefox.
3. Open IE, visit the forum and log in with the "automatically" box checked.
4. Open Firefox and visit the forum.

I am still logged in in Firefox. What happens if you run through that sequence?

Perhaps there needs to be a delay, so I'm going to alternate between Firefox and IE over the next few days to see if I run into the problem. I assume it's only started occuring recently, and it may have more to do with phpBB than Firefox 1.5. It's mentioned in this thread that there was a change in the way auto-login cookies are set in 2.0.18.

I cleared cookies in Firefox so that's not sure.

That would indicate Mozilla and IE share cookies?

1 thing I should add, I tried to login today and whenever I login I get the login page again, not until I cleared cookies that I was able to login.

My cookie settings are fine, the problem occurs only when I use IE and get back to Firefox again and the url I use to visit the forum is http://forum.egghelp.org.

Edit: I might add that I'm also signed in on an Invision Power Board and never had this problem there, but did face the same problem on other phpBB boards.

Thats then probably more an IE issue than a Firefox issue. I have cookies on Windows Mozilla and Linux Mozilla/Seamonkey, but don't knock out each other.

Yup. I still have IE as my default browser and if I get notified of a PM and click the link in the e-mail IE undoes the auto login bit and I have to fix up again in Mozilla.

What URL are you using to visit the forums?

I haven't encountered the problem with Firefox 1.5 myself, but I'm still using RC2. If it's not the cookie settings, see if clearing cookies helps.

I'm sometimes using Firefox 1.5 of the forum and I don't have the login problem as you guys have. AFIK the forum will store a cookie if you check that "Log me on automatically each visit:" on the login page and when you get back it won't ask you to login again. Check what happens with the cookie in question.
