Firefox not staying signed in to Gmail

With Firefox 3.5 I log in to web sites, like gmail and yahoo to read my mail. Many times, I want to stay logged in, so I check the "Stay signed in" checkbox. Recently, my passwords and my cookies didn't seem to be sticking.

I found an article that describes searching for a hidden file called cookies.sqlite. Renaming that file (after closing firefox and killing the firefox process.)

The file was found here for me:
C:\Documents and Settings\Daddy\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\z8honqxy.default
