Dear Community: What settings can I use so that the sites I continually use recognize me. I have to sign into my email many times a day and also to the New York Times Games which I subscribe to. Is there a way to allow these sites to recognize me without having to go through signing in each time. Even if I log out and a minute later I need to go back on. I have to go through the rigamarole of signing in yet again.

I do not have to do this on my phone as the sites recognize me. I used to be able to do this on this computer also now I can no longer do it. I believe there is something in Firefox settings that is causing this but I don't know what it is or how to change the settings that are causing this.

Go to Firefox settings and type "cookies and site" in the settings searchbar. Do you have "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" selected?

If you do, either unselect it, or add website exceptions by clicking on the Manage Exceptions panel right above.

Now type "Firefox will" in the settings searchbar -> Under the History heading, what is the phrase displayed after "Firefox will" ?
