I shut down my browser and deleted both my cookies.txt and cookies.sqllite files, then restarted the browser. Worked like a charm. Apparently the files had gotten corrupted somehow, and session information was not being saved correctly. It took a complete purge to start again from scratch. (Note that cookies.txt is not used in FF3, but if you have one leftover from the upgrade, delete it too.)
Good luck, hope that helps.

Thank you so much. This has been driving me crazy. At first I had no problem with FF3, but after a couple of weeks no sites would remember my cookies so that I didn't have to log in every time. Then I was getting logged out even with computer on and leaving Firefox open. I couldn't find cookies.txt so I went to options>private data>settings and checked cache and cookies then clicked "clear now" under private data. I then unchecked cookies and closed my browser and then deleted cookies.sqllite.
I just opened my browser and logged into a couple of sites, then closed it, rebooted and it FINALLY 'remembered' and I was still logged in to those sites.
