Hello All,

After a recent Firefox upgrade to 100/101 my browser at work and at home no longer saves my login credentials/cache for Gmail, Facebook etc.. This forces me to login to Gmail with password and username every time which I'm not a fan of. I have security set at standard in Firefox and I didn't change any of my settings that I recall. I'm using Windows 10 PCs and I'm also using Firefox Sync.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Detail like websites remembering you and log you in automatically is stored in cookies, so make sure you aren't clearing important cookies.

You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you.

  • create a cookie allow exception with the proper protocol (https:// or http://) to make a website remember you

You can check that you aren't clearing important cookies.

  • using "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" keeps cookies with an allow exception
  • using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear cookies clears all cookies including cookies with an allow exception you may want to keep
  • clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Exceptions"
  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
    [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings

Thanks for the reply!

I don't have "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" checked and I don't have it set to not remember history, so I'm really puzzled as to what's causing it to do just that! Based on my configuration I shouldn't have to add exceptions, super annoying!
