I found the solution to ALL iOS 5.x devices, go to Settings > Safari > and disable "Private Browsing"

Note that Safari will go back to iOS 4.x blue, and more importantly, will fix the cookie and history issues we've been expierencing!!!

I recomend backing up with iTunes or preferably iCloud, so when you need to Restore, or Update, you'll get your settings back.

Apparently, Apple decided to enable Private Browsing, which doesn't store cookies or history.




Mods, could you pin this thread, to save all the "Safari Dosen't work!!!!" threads?

I'm not sure what problems people are experiencing, but "Private Browsing" is disabled by default on my phone. No issues with Safari so far.

I believe you accidentally enabled private browsing...

Sorry guise, I thought this was an issue for everyone, every time I install iOS 5 it's like this for me.
