When I close Firefox and restart all of the sites I set up to automatically login do not work. The Delete cookies and site data was checked in ignorance and we need to uncheck it. I have tried resetting Firefox and have read the documentation in several loops and cannot find how to turn it off.

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

  • do not clear the Cookies
  • do not clear the Site Preferences
  • 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
