Why do I have to sign-in to Gmail AGAIN each time I start Fire Fox?

  • This even happens when I simply close and restart Firefox. (Not Windows restart)
  • Using Windows 11 and FireFox Version 148.0 (64-bit) is up-to-date.
  • Using Privacy Badger extension
  • Using Malwarebytes Privacy Guard extension.

Windows 11 Home 64-bit

For the last couple of days, FF has been signing me out of all social media sites and some other sites that are open in tabs also. I'll go back to the tab, and be signed out when I was signed in 5 minutes ago. Google, FB, Reddit all have this problem and some streaming sites. I had changed my settings to clear all data when it was closed, so I thought that might be it, but I changed it back and restarted FF and the computer and it's still doing it. Haven't tried another browser yet.

Since the last update or two, cookies are filling up crazy fast - especially from Facebook - and I'm barely on it even these days. AND, I am not surfing other sites either, just working (claude/chatgpt only mostly).

https://snipboard.io/9uRi0v.jpg

Yet - this is JUST from today. How on earth is this possible??

I can't block cookies because things won't work the same - but this is ridiculous to have to empty everything constantly/daily.

What changed? Can you guys please fix this?

I changed nothing in settings, and doubled back and checked, still set to open windows/tabs where left off, and not to delete site data/cookies when closed, but every time I open the app, nothing, no history, no tabs, have to re-sign-in to everything. Why might this be, as it didn't seem like an update happened in line with this occuring, or anything at all for that matter that would change how things behave.

Can log on to the Google Maps Web Site OK. However, trying to log on to my Google account (in Google Maps) I get the following message: "We've detected a problem with your cookie settings. ". If I try 'Private Browsing' in Firefox (CTRL-SHIFT-P) I am able to log in. However, this seems to have lost all of the Open tabs that I had in 'ordinary' Firefox.

When i logged into a privacy session on a website the account did not automatically log out when i closed the session. I checked again by purposefully ensuring i closed all privacy windows but when i went back to the sight i was still logged in. I had to specifically log out the account.

Has something changed with the setting? This was one of the features that i liked. I don't want to find a new browser because what i expect is no longer happening.

Hello all, I recently returned to Firefox after a long hiatus due to multiple problems. Some things are better, but the most important issue on android persists:

I have it set to always e in private browsing and to always clear everything on exit. I am definitely hitting "quit" from the menu to close the app, not just swiping it away. When I reopen it, I am still logged in to everything and nothing is cleared.

I have tried: Clearing cache and data Turning this setting off, restarting, turning it back on Force stopping the app both before and after exiting Reinstalling

I'm on a oneplus n30.

I have also tried manually clearing everything from the settings, then exiting, and it still leaves me logged in and doesn't clear everything. I have found threads from folks for years dating they've had this issue, but have not found a solution.
