Microsoft account time-out issues after I sign-out

I recently noticed that my Microsoft account remains active after I sign out if I press the back button. All my personal and account information is still displayed, indicating that the account is still signed in. I even tried clearing all browsing data and history, but that didn't resolve the issue. This doesn't happen with my Gmail account, nor when I access my Microsoft account using Edge or Chrome.

I understand that closing the browser likely signs me out, but I have no way to confirm that unless I check for active devices in my account settings. Can you explain why this timeout issue occurs? It seems odd, especially since Mozilla prioritizes security and privacy.

In recent weeks, I’ve been getting signed out of two sites in particular, Patreon.com and Defector.com what feels like every day. It’s a nuisance, as I subscribe to both sites and read them primarily through the Firefox browser. I tried deleting all cookies and the issue has persisted. Any help is appreciated.

Starting today, if I use google search in Firefox it ALWAYS says i am robot and I have to Recaptcha puzzles. I have done everything with my computer, cleared cache/history, rebooted router/chose "No Proxy" for Internet access/ and searched for viruses/malware etc. Using latest version of Firefox 138.0.1 I am also already logged into my Google account. Dont have this issue if I use google with other browsers such as Edge or Chrome. on a Dell PC using Windows 10.

I dont want to switch browsers but dont know how long I can put up with this. Wouldn't be surprised if Google did this on purpose to entice Firefox users to switch to Chrome.

Please HELP

I have the current version of Firefox browser. Every time I clear the browsing history, I am being logged out of my Google and Microsoft accounts, which is forcing me to go through the tedious 2-step verification process to log back in. This was not occuring before. Please fix this annoying and time consuming bug!

Why does Incognito/private browsing store cookies and history?

Recently transferred from Chrome. My understanding was Firefox private browsing was supposed to work similarly to chrome incognito mode; once you close the browser, all local files are deleted and cookies are cleared.

However, with Firefox it maintains my logins. If I log into an account while private browsing and the close the browser, I’ll still be logged in next time I go to the website even if it’s days later (and I have never logged into this account in a non-private browsing window!)

I never had this issue using chrome incognito, so it seems to be a Firefox problem.

Is this just not something Firefox supports? Is there any way to prevent storage of cookies and private data?

After recent updates, I’ve been having issues with cookies. Whenever I open Firefox and perform a new Google search, it shows that I’m logged out and the cookie consent popup appears. I have to refresh the page for it to work properly. After refreshing, the cookies load, I’m logged in, and the popup disappears. This issue isn’t limited to Google Search—it happens on about 90% of the websites I try to access right after launching Firefox.

When I put my laptop to sleep, websites I am logged into are often logged out when I return. Note that I don't close Firefox. The tabs generally reopen but require login again. Windows 11, Firefox 137.0.1

For example, I put my laptop to sleep for lunch. When I returned, tabs were there, but I was logged out of gmail, Discord, and a website I was logged into.

This seems to happen more frequently recently, but not every time, as far as I know. But this is a relatively new problem, possibly related to a new laptop. Occasionally I get a message that there is trouble restoring my session.
