When I restrt V 60.0, I loose all of my cached data for websites security and have to go through the exstra security of getting texts/emails with codes; FIX?
Again,I loose the cached data for websites to recognize (cookies or otherwise), and beleive that I have all of the security settings very liberal. EX: - Logging back into a bank, I have to get a text or e-mail code - Logging into Amazon 2 accounts are missing; so I do not get the page where I chose an account -Logging into Google, all 3 accounts are missing; so I do not get the page where I chose an account
Recently, I resolved a "mouse not responsive to drop menus" problem with a reset, and I do not want to go through that again.
Any ideas?

First of all thanks everyone. It was the "Clear history when Firefox closes" being checked. This isa new problem, and so I am not sure how that happened exactly, but upon restart the problem did not reappear. I should have noticed the setting but not too savvy with FF. Thanks again! -Tony

hi, this information is getting stored in cookies - what are your settings in rgeards to them: are you allowing them for longer than a session, don't clear them on browser shutdown and don't use any addons or third-party tools (think ccleaner) that interfere with them?
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the Cookies
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
- clearing "Cookies" will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an "Allow" exception you may want to keep
