Every time I close Firefox, it logs out of all the sites I've logged into. I've already followed all the steps in the following archived post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1319622

It's getting really annoying to log in to all my stuff over and over. Is there another setting somewhere that's doing this? It's across all my desktop devices. (All browsers up-to-date).

Under "Cookies and Site Data" I have it to delete cookies and site data when Firefox closes.

That will remove all cookies that do not have a site exception behind the Manage Exceptions button.

Usually that would be due to cookies being cleared by a Firefox setting/feature, an add-on, or an external program.

Is anything else getting cleared -- browsing (URL) history, download history, open tabs (if you restore your previous session), etc.?

Under "Cookies and Site Data" I have it to delete cookies and site data when Firefox closes. I'll feel Real Dumb if that's whats causing it. The included image is what I have selected Under History > Clear history when firefox closes > Settings

Thanks! I turned that off and also stopped it from clearing the other data (from the image above) when I close Firefox. Thanks for all your help!
