Hi, if I am logged into sites such as gmail or facebook using Safari v6, and then turn on Private Browsing, I am automatically logged off of these sites. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? This did not used to happen in older versions of Safari such as 4.0. Thanks.

are you sure this didn't used to happen?

Because NOT leaving or having access to cookies (where logins are stored) is most of the point of private browsing (along with not leaving a history).

If it didn't used to work that way, it was broken.

I've always been able to use sites that require logins on Safari v4 in Tiger...it just doesn't show the history. I've also seen newer machines (Safari v5 I believe) do the same. To be frank, wouldn't a big reason for using private browsing in the first place be to surf these sites (i.e. social networking, online dating, etc) without leaving a history. If you can't get onto those types of sites in PB, what's the point? Thanks.
