firefox signin

    OS X 10.5
    Firefox 3.0b5
    Diigo bookmarklet
    Accept cookies from websites I visit
    No cookie exceptions

    Diigo asks me to sign in more than once per session... It's anoying to have to stop and sign in so often.

    Why is diigo limiting sign-in period? Why isn't it persistent like del.icio.us or Facebook (which remain even past the session)? If you don't think this is good for all users, then at least make it an option some users can use.

    If diigo really wants to be a bookmarking system, then it should allow for persistent sign in: imagine if Firefox asked you to sign in to your bookmarks...

    Totally agree with you. I came on here trying to see if there were any solutions to this in the work. Doing research papers is quite frustrating when you are trying to read something about 10 pages long and have to sign in about 3 or 4 times to keep highlighting. They need to fix this. please? :)

    UPDATE: It has been more than 1 month and the issue remains with FireFox RC3.

    Can you please let me know what the issue is or if you plan on doing something about this annoyance.

    Thx

    Oh, I am sorry to miss your post.

    We never limit the sign-in period. We're looking into the diigolet issue. BTW, you can install the diigo toolbar http://www.diigo.com/tools which allows for persistent sign in.

    Thx -

    Diigo toolbar: too obtrusive for me - I don't want to give up that much screen real estate.

    Diigo toolbar is fully customizable.

    Go to Diigo >> Options >> Select toolbar buttons - pick and choose which ones you wish. You have complete control of your desktop RE space

    Lucite and Kivak,
    The problem maybe cause by the third party cookie mechanism in FF3. Could you look into Firefox == >Tools === >Options == >Privacy ===Cookie === >Accept third party cookie opion? Please make sure this option is checked and telll me the result.

    Thanks.

    but it still takes up an entire row, even if it only has one button.

    though I guess it must be possible to install the toolbar, but disable it entirely and only use the right click menu... though I haven't tried it.

    I like, and use, the diigo toolbar. But with every site out there offering a toolbar that takes up a whole row, many people are VERY picky about what toolbars they'll install. Thats why, in many ways, I prefer extensions over toolbars, ones that install themselves unobtrusively in a corner and don't take up much space.
    I keep the diigo one on because I like the search box, the highlighting and the unread options. But its still more than 50% empty...
