Have you tried to pin the firefox tab once you've logged into rt.cpan.org? It did work for me: just right click on the tab and then on Pin: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pinned-tabs-keep-favorite-websites-open Actually, if I leave the rt.cpan.org window open and quit firefox (I have it configured to open all my previous tabs) the session cookie still works when I start firefox again. However, if I close the tab before restarting, it asks the login password again. So session cookies seem to persist after restarting if you tell firefox to remember the current tabs. Other possible options you have are using one of the several cookie addons available for firefox to modify the session cookie and make it persistent, or something like lastpass addon to remember the passwords that you don't want to store in firefox. Hope this helps, Alex
