    repeat signing in.
    « on: June 13, 2011, 02:13:25 AM »
    I use windows xp. I am having to sign-in (username/password) every time i click a page. My yahoo mail is weird, i have to sign-in every page.
    If I write on a page and send, regardless of which website - i again have to sign-in. Often losing the page and having to start all over again.
    This seemed to start from downloading Firefox 4. ????
    I also think some emails are not getting through to me. I have full AVG security.
    Thanks

      In Firefox delete all installed "add-ons" then see if the problem stops. Then you can install the add-ons one at a time until the offending one occurs and do keep that one. You could also try another browser.truenorth

      Or simply run Firefox in it's built in safemode from the Programs menu which disables all addons...

        If you had auto sign in or remember passwords or pages set previously on those account on the earlier version of FF, then you would loose those on the next upgrade. Try using another antivirus for your other issues to check on FF4 and AVG compatibilities. Use an AVG remover/uninstaller. Try free Avira or Avast.

          Hello,
                    I have had enough, this is my last attempt to resolve this matter. Here goes > When using YAHOO I have to log in again and again, I type some work and when I press "send" I have to start all over again as it goes to "LOG IN" and my work is lost. I have asked many people about resolving this including YAHOO it was like pulling teeth. Can any one please help, its driving me mad. Also because the responses talk to you as if you are a computer expert, if I was I would be able to solve the problem ??
          I also get a message "you are using an incompatible browser" when starting up Facebook - sometimes it comes on but mostly it does not - I am using Firefox 3 - tried Firefox 4 but my computer when doo lally tap.
          I am using windows XP - Laptop, Acer aspire.
          Thanks for any help.

            You came here asking for help. You received several suggestions. But rather than try any of them you did nothing and then came back and said you are fed up and asked for more help.

            It's your choice - either follow the advice or don't, but please don't keep posting the same question if you don't do anything. If you don't understand a suggestion either say so or use Google: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode

            We'll be happy to give you as much support as you need, but please don't waste our time. Thank you.

            Open firefox, click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled....

                Allen - "Fed up" refers to MY attempts at trying to solve this matter - NOT the good support from the helpers on this excellent site.
                I note your direct tone and will communicate better.

                               Clicked on that but got my email page after following the instructions. Did not get a window with box to tick.
