- Privacy panel -> History section -> under Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"

- Remember Search and Form History
- Accept Cookies from sites -> click Exceptions button and click Remove button for all entries which have Status set to other than Allow -> Now type addresses of websites whose Cookies you want to be stored by Firefox e.g. mail.live.com , login.live.com , hotmail.com , msn.com , mail.yahoo.com , login.yahoo.com , yahoo.com , mail.google.com , google.com , etc. & click Allow button for each of these websites (One by One) 5) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under Keep Until : select They Expire -> click Close
- Security panel -> place Checkmark on Remember Passwords for sites -> click Exceptions... button and click Remove All button -> click Close

Check and tell if its working.
-> IF you use Clear Recent History feature, DO NOT select Cookies, Forms and Search History, Active Logins, Site Preferences
-> IF you use Privacy Cleanup softwares like CCleaner etc., DON'T SELECT FIREFOX IN ITS SETTINGS. These softwares can be responsible for Deleting your Firefox Settings.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
