Classicalla - I think that's a new Firefox thing - the new version. The older version would keep me logged in when I turned it back on [I have several 'home' pages, including this one and gmail]. With the newer version, I have to log back into everything. If FF shuts down improperly and then I tell it to 'resume', I stay logged in, but if done properly, then no. Not sure how to get around it but let me know if you come up with something...
