I had a problem with Firefox 3 on Vista not saving session cookies. The problems were:

• Freezing when opening iGoogle, Gmail, Facebook, bbc.co.uk

• Reseting iGoogle and bbc.co.uk to their default settings after browser restart

To fix it you need to remove the cookies.sqlite file from the user profile.

• Close Firefox

• Open Windows Explorer – on the top left select Organize / Folder and Search Options / View / Show Hidden Files and Folders

• Navigate to  C:\Users\”USERNAME”\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profile\”SESSION FOLDER” (this is a random alphanumeric name)

• Delete the file cookies.sqlite

• Start Firefox and it should work fine
