Upgrading web browser version forces a login?
Hi!
Is it me or does VideoSift forgets login after upgrading (internally with its updater) Mozilla's SeaMonkey versions? For example, I went from v2.0.5 to v2.0.6 (came out yesterday and I upgraded earlier today) and noticed VS didn't remember me so I had to manually log in. Same thing happened with previous version upgrades and on other Windows computers (did not check Mac OS X and Debian/Linux yet). Do you guys see this with Firefox too (v3.6.7 came out yesterday)?
Thank you in advance.

Cookies might be getting dropped when upgrading to a new browser version - though I haven't experienced that.

I doubt it since other Web sites don't ask me to relogin from Web browser upgrades.
StingrayYeah, this happened to me when I went from 3.6.6 to 3.6.7 of Firefox. I just chalked it up to some update that tossed my cookie.

dotdudeIt happens to me every time I upgrade Firefox.
CrushBugSame for me, dotdude. Pretty much only this site. It does happen at one other for me, but they lose my login several times a week, so they have something else going wrong.
lucky760This is intentional. Your user agent is part of how you are identified as a validly logged-in user. If someone else took your session info and tried to use it on their computer, one of the ways it would fail is if the user agent doesn't exactly match yours.

I just had some Cool Mint Oreos. Wonder how those taste coming back up.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if that was by design or a bug. It's good to know that it was by design.
blankfistI still can't keep a login for safari on leopard.
