I don't know if this is codepush related or separate, but I'm having the most mind-blowing trouble staying logged in. I've logged in on the main page, in the top-right login on entries, in the top-left "top bar" login viewing a main journal, and using LJLogin, and in every case, I'm signed out about every five to ten minutes, whether or not I check "Remember Me."

Oh, Firefox 22.0, Windows XPSP3, Verizon FiOS.

LJLogin is known to cause serious problems with staying logged in, unfortunately. The best thing to do is to uninstall it. (For swapping accounts, I use an extension called CookieSwap, which hasn't caused me any issues!)

As mentioned in my previous comment, it was definitely not just LJLogin. As I said: I also tried logging in on the main page, in the top-right login on entries, and in the top-left "top bar" login viewing a main journal. In all cases I was getting kicked off.

It seems to have stopped, but it was doing this consistently for about 2 hours previous to my original comment.

Even if you're not actively using LJLogin at the time, if it's installed and not disabled, it can mess up your cookies badly enough that you can't stay logged in, even if you log in through other means. Once that starts happening, the only thing you can do is log out completely in all accounts LJLogin knows about, uninstall LJLogin, and log back in again.

The extension causes enough problems that we won't troubleshoot cookie or staying-logged-in problems when someone has it installed: in literally every case in the four years of Dreamwidth and the mumblety years at LJ, the problem was LJLogin and uninstalling the extension made it work again.
