Have to re-sign in now every time on every site I visit daily..Why?
Not liking Quantum at all but trying to work with it. Figured out some issues yesterday but don't understand why I have to sign in now to each site every time I visit. I have the stay signed in checked off on all. Any help appreciated.

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
You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:
- you can create an "Allow" exception to keep specific cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cached Web Content: "Clear Now": Exceptions

hi, websites remember your login state by setting cookies. are you clearing cookies after every session or have set firefox not to remember any history in the privacy & security panel?
