Why must I login to sites each time I start Firefox. Firefox remembers my login information, but it used to simply have me already logged in.

Recently, Firefox makes me login to sites such as Twitter or Facebook each time I start Firefox. Previously, starting Firefox would show my status at these sites as logged in. What has changed, and how do I change it to the old way? Firefox remembers my login information for these sites, so that is not the fix I need.

Yes, I found a setting that was not set the way the article described. I changed it, and everything does appear to work as it used to.

Thanks for the assistance.
