Automatic Sign Out of All Account Upon Browser Closing
Hello, I've been plagued with this issue for a few months now and only just got completely fed up with it. For some reason, whenever I close out of Firefox completely it resets all my accounts as forces me to sign into them all over again. I saw that there was a thread about this on the help site that recommended fixing your sync settings, which I did. The issue has not gone away. All I need is peace of mind knowing I won't need to log back into half a dozen accounts when my browser is closed. Thank you so much!

What accounts are you talking about here? If you close the browser all login will sign out that for security reasons. And what do you mean by sync.
