I'm using Netsurf 3.5 #3433 (with Javascript switched off at the
moment, if that's relevant). And I'll update today, I promise. I
usually update much more frequently; the past month or two are
atypical.
You're right, though: quitting Netsurf does forget the login details.
So that's obviously the simple solution to my original problem.
Still would like to know where Netsurf stores this info -- cache? --
and if there'd be any way to erase it (i.e., to "log out") without
quitting everything else that might be open.
This sounds like the sort of session behaviour that (Oracle) single sign-on
provides. Once you sign-in the browser remembers until you close the whole
browser, this is how IE, Firefox behave with Oracle sso.
