From: Tom Willett on 13 Apr 2010 09:52 GMAIL Notifier is not part of Windows. Ask in a GMAIL notifier newsgroup, or, if it's a Firefox addin, ask in the appropriate forum.

Check Firefox's Preferences/Settings under Security, see if "Remember Passwords" in checked. You may have to look. The exact location varies between Firefox versions and which OS they run on, and I don't have access to XP right now, so I can't check. Stef

I am using the same mail notifier on my other p c and every thing seems to be set the same. I did do a Google and it seems others are having the same problem but have no answers to solve it. guess i will just need to sign in every time i reboot Strange. -- DEFENDER01

Works on all my Yahoo and GMail accounts. (Firefox 3.5.9 64-bit running on Fedora 12 Linux 64-bit) In Preferences, check 'Exceptions' and 'Saved Passwords' and see if anything is there. You may have inadvertently set some accounts as exceptioned for remembering. Be sure to quit/restart Firefox after making Preferences changes to load the new settings. Personally, for security, I never have passwords "remembered" on any of my systems, Linux or Windows. Stef |
