iCloud for Windows always requires a password when "Keep me signed in" is checked. When using Chrome or MS Edge, it works correctly.

MyPrivateSearch that shows as a Extension is not ok'd by Firefox and has not been submitted for inclusion to : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/
A google search turns up that it is malware. Suggest you uninstall this then : Please use more than 1 scanner as each uses diff tech :
Save your Report and google each before deleting anything as do not want to delete something you need, If need help :
Post in only 1 forum, then wait.
After this has been dealt with : Please sign out of the Icloud. Empty your cache, delete the cookies for the site and any 3rd party the site uses. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Restart Firefox and login.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
The "Keep me signed in" option prompts the site to set a persistent cookie meaning that Firefox is supposed to retain it from one session to the next and the next, until its expiration date which usually is far in the future.
There are many ways for this not to go according to plan:
- Using a private window for iCloud, cookies are dumped when all the private windows are closed
- Using session only cookies (Cookie setting "Keep until: I close Firefox")
- Setting Firefox to clear cookies when it closes
- Using an add-on that clears cookies
- Using external software that cleans browser data
