I have had a problem in the past with FF3 and cookies. At some point, something would change in my prefs and FF would delete cookies every 4 hours and everytime I close FF. I went to the FF help forums and made an inquiry. I got this reply/fix and it seems to work so I thought I'd share:

It is possible that the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
You can try to rename or delete __~~#5050a0:cookies.sqlite~~__ and __~~#5050a0:cookies.txt~~__ (if it exists) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox|Profile Folder] in case that has happened.

See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Cookies|Cookies (MozillaZine KB)] (Removing cookies)

I tried it by deleting the "cookies.sqlite" file and now I dont have to re-login every 4 hours or opening of FF.

Just thought I would pass this on in case anyone runs into the same issue.
