Firefox Keeps signing me out of websites

Hello,

Firefox keeps signing me out of online websites like gmail, Netflix, etc. Basically anything with a password. I have been using Firefox for years and never had this as an issue. It is on my iMac which never leaves home so I don't have to worry about anyone but me accessing these websites. The issue is especially with Gmail because I have been late to online meetings because I am finding myself signed out. This is very frustrating and I need this resolved ASAP otherwise I am going to have to use a different browser. I really like Firefox so I prefer not to.

Please advise how to fix this, I would really appreciate a quick response on this one.

Thank you, ~Ray

Login status is stored in cookies. Have you selected "cookies" in your Clear History settings? If so, remove cookies from the list of items to clear. See Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox.

In case this applies to you, there's a bug in Firefox version 110* that deletes all cookies, even though Firefox is set to clear history, including cookies, only for a specified time period (such as the last hour). This will be fixed in an upcoming Firefox version.

*Bug 1816279 Firefox 110 Forget the last x time deletes all cookies (see Bugzilla Etiquette before adding bug report comments)
