Since upgrading from 2.0.9 to 2.1 Camino has been clearing all cookies on quitting, so that I have to sign in to frequently used sites every session.
According to the documentation this behaviour is controlled by hidden preferences, but when I looked at hidden preferences I found all the cookie prefs were set to default (including "network.cookie.lifetimePolicy" set to "0" which should mean Camino follows the server settings) except for "network.cookie.cookieBehavior" set to 1 (inline with my setting on the Preference panel) and "network.cookie.prefsMigrated" set to "true".
I tried setting my favourite sites in the Exceptions list in Preferences but Camino still deletes all cookies on quitting.
I also tried deleting "org.mozilla.camino.plist" in Library/Preferences but that didn't correct the behaviour either.
Any ideas?

Re: Camino 2.1 and cookies
If you view the cookies themselves in the prefs, what's showing in the "Expires" column?

Re: Camino 2.1 and cookies
Some show "On Quit", others have various dates between a week and five years in the future. All are deleted when I quit Camino.

Re: Camino 2.1 and cookies
For the sites that you have added to the Exceptions list, do they all say 'allow' in the policy column ?
Could you also check if Console logs anything ? (Applications/Utilities/Console, filter for Camino)

Re: Camino 2.1 and cookies
Policy is "allow" for all. Nothing much in the log, just:

Re: Camino 2.1 and cookies
Those warnings are harmless.
Could you move cookies.sqlite and cookies.sqlite-journal out of your profile (~/Library/Application Support/Camino) to the desktop or other safe location? Then try again.
Quit Camino before moving those files.
If that doesn't help, do the same with permissions.sqlite.

Re: Camino 2.1 and cookies
Deleting cookies.sqlite and cookies.sqlite-journal fixed the problem. Everything back to normal now.
Thanks for your help

Re: Camino 2.1 and cookies
Sounds like it was probably a corrupted cookies file, for whatever that's worth.
