I have to enter my name and password each time I want to access my Gmail account
I've used Firefox for years (with AVG and Zone Alarm progs) and no probs accessing my Gmail account. Since GMail introduced its Home Page options, I've had to enter my name and password everytime I try to log on on my Windows 7 laptop. My desk top (XP) remembers my log-in Name, but always asks for my password.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
- Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
- In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
- Do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
