Just starting this week, when I first visit lemm.ee, I used to be logged in auytomatically, every time, but now I have to manually choose to login. My browser (Firefox on Ubuntu) definitely knows my username and password still.
Then, I can click around, go from page to page as I want, but if I hit F5 to refresh the page, or right click and choose the reload icon, I do get the page reloaded, but now I am not logged in.
I’ve tried disabling my (5) extensions but still saw this issue.
I tried completely erasing my cache in Firefox. Same issue still.
This is only happening on lemm.ee.
Any ideas why Lemme doesn’t want to keep me logged in?
Thanks!
In desktop Firefox new cookies are being set to expire in 3023, and going into inspect and setting the cookie to a shorter expiration fixes it. In Chrome long cookies are auto shortened to 400 days.
Cool, thanks. I’ll try that out in a bit.
Can you try clearing all your cookies & then logging in again? I’m not sure if clearing the cache also clears cookies in Firefox.
Strangely enough, this has been happening to me when visiting hexbear.net through Firefox. (I haven’t tried other instances or browsers.) It hasn’t annoyed me enough (yet!) to look into it, but since you mentioned it, I wanted to chime in and say it’s not just you.
Edit: I saw this last night as I was falling asleep and didn’t reply then, and when I went looking for the post this morning to respond, I found one by another user on another instance with the same problem.
