Since installing Firefox 3.6.3 I noticed that it kept clearing all login details and every time I started it up and went to a site, I had to re-enter my details which is tedious and annoying. Now I’m one who has Firefox set to clear certain things on close down, and had set these setting via Tools->Clear Recent History… and thought that these were the same settings that would be used when Firefox was closed.
How naïve.
The actual settings for this are found in Tools->Options->Privacy and if you have “Clear history when Firefox closes” checked, like I have, you must then click the “Settings” button. This brings up a different dialog box to the one mentioned above and by default everything has been checked. Uncheck “Cookies”, click “Ok” and all should now work as expected.

Whilst I tend to hold the view if you design a website properly from scratch that you shouldn’t need different CSS, there are occasions when sometimes a minor tweak is required here or there for a particular browser (I’m talking to you Internet Explorer 6) in order for it to display correctly. Or in some cases you may want it to display differently.
If you find yourself in this position, I recommend defining the browser specific CSS definitions in a separate CSS file and using conditional comments.

My first blog post over on PC Pro is up. All about adding video to your website with HTML5.
Let me know what you think, either in this blog or over at PC Pro.
I’m pleased to announce that I have been asked to contribute to the PC Pro blogs area on the topic of HTML5.
I am quite excited by this opportunity and am looking forward to writing my first blog article. I will, of course, keep you posted.
This will be in addition to running this blog and HTML5 Laboratory.
