    Depends on your computer settings. Some people set things so that, if someone steals their computer, those people are logged into their Gmail, their blogs, their Facebook, their Twitter, etc.

    It depends, have you checked the little remember me box when signing in? If you close a window or shut down the computer, and you haven’t checked the box, you’ll be signed out. You’ll only stay signed in if the box is checked.

    PS visit my blog http://www.noignorance.wordpress.com
    I’d appreciate any feedback at all, thanks!!!!!

    If you’re on a public computer or shared computer, then you’re screwed. But if you’re the only one on the computer, then no need to worry. I’m the only one on mine but I still delete all cookies, history, and cache every time I log off for the night. You can set up your browser settings that deletes everything every time the browser is shut off.

    On Firefox:
    Tools > Options > Privacy > Clear history when Firefox closes
