Keeps forgetting logins

My portable version keeps "forgetting" logins on sites. This is not the sites logging me out, but apparently the cookies disappearing.
Is that a known Firefox issue, a portable issue or am i just unlucky?

Check the following settings

Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies > Keep until they expire (default setting)
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies > Exceptions (no entries by default)
Tools > Options > Privacy > Private Data > Always clear my data when I close Firefox (unchecked by default)

Those options can potentially change the way the cookies are handled by Firefox.

you unchecked

"remember passwords for sites"?, session cookies very often are disabled after closing the tab, a few keep your login -> they ask you to do so because of security concerns
and @1 NO, you´re not alone

Try to reinstall Firefox

Try to reinstall Firefox Portable, and take a special attention about not running a standard firefox instance at the same time of Firefox Portable.

I don't run more than one

I don't run more than one instance at the same time.

Do you suggest reinstall just to suggest it, or have you hear about this problem before and heard that this might fix it?

I suspect, I'm yet again the only one on the planet with a certain problem.

reinstalling

wont affect/change/touch you portable settings and so it is a good method of ensuring that none of the program files are messed up or missing.
