Didn't know where to put it, but do I stay logged in if I close Firefox but don't log out?

Cause then I would be online all day..lol..I never log out..
 
Not the case. The forum somehow knows that you have left..dunno how it works though.
 
Session cookies/PHP sessions.

When you first visit the site, it knows you haven't been here before, so it gives you a temporary cookie. On each other page load, it knows off that cookie that you've been here recently.

On exit, browsers delete the cookie. The cookies are also set to expire, usually after 2 hours.
 
Or when you close the tab in Firefox, did some experimenting a while back :D

I dunno what funky version of FF you're using, but it doesn't do that to me, even across different windows.
