I want to be logged out of facebook and pandora etc. once I have closed a tab. How can I do this?
I would like to change my settings so that I am automatically logged out of websites where I log in, once I have closed the window. After closing the window would be preferred rather than after closing the tab. Thank you

There are two ways
- Browsing in Private Window
- Clearing the Cookies and Cache, when closing the Firefox
Firefox - Private Window
- Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-browse-web-without-saving-info
Make Private Browsing Windows as Default
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
- Select: [x] "Always use private browsing mode"

Thank you so much! Big help :)
Since you preferred a solution which works window-wise the following may not be relevant to you any more, as iamjayakumars already gave an excellent answer. There is, however, an addon that works tab-wise; cookies are deleted some time (that you can specify) after you close the corresponding tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/ You can also set it to removie cookies on closed browser or completely turn off cookie removal per site.
Just thought I'll leave this here if anyone needs it. :-)
