Firefox doing stupid stuff

Hey all,

so all of a sudden my Firefox has started saving my sessions/passwords. I have it set to never remember history, so that when I close Firefox all together, it automatically logs me out of all the things I'm logged into (fb, YouTube, Twitter, etc). Now for some reason, even when I close Firefox completely, if I open it again and go to fb/YouTube/Twitter, I'm still logged into those sites.

When I log in, I un-check the "remember me" box, so I know that isn't the issue.

I looked through the firefox settings, nothing seems to have changed from before. Anyone been having this issue too?

I use firefox but I havent had that issue. Try to download the latest version and verify the addons list and see if you could have an installed addon that saves passwords just in case.

I just started having this problem as well.

Actually I think that might be what is causing it.

I fixed it. If you go onto Firefox settings for history, set it to "Use custom settings" and then manually check it all off. Make sure you un-check "Always use private browsing". Seems to have fixed the problem.
