HI carps839, Some sites will do this. It is possible to check the expiration time in the details of the cookie when the session is first authenticated in the Get Request (Web Console in the Web Developer Tools)
Servers do not accept old, expired cookies as a login to some sites. Cookies - Information that websites store on your computer
There are add ons like Session Keeper and Session Keep Alive that might help from addons.mozilla.org but I have not tried these on the site that might still log you out.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:
