Firefox logging out my accs from web every update
am facing an issue with Firefox where every time the browser updates, all of my accounts get logged out, including YouTube, ChatGPT, and other websites. I have already tried repairing, uninstalling, and reinstalling Firefox, but the problem still persists.

This usually happens when Firefox loses or resets the cookies/session database after updates. Try these fixes:
Make sure Firefox is not set to clear cookies on exit:
Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → disable
“Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed”.
Check if you use any “cleaner” apps like CCleaner, antivirus browser cleanup, or Windows optimizer tools - they can delete Firefox session files after updates.
Open about:profiles and verify that Firefox always launches with the same profile after updating.
Disable extensions related to privacy/security temporarily (cookie auto-delete, ad blockers, antivirus extensions, etc.).
In about:config, ensure:
privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies = false
browser.privatebrowsing.autostart = false
If the issue started recently, try installing the latest Firefox version manually from Mozilla’s official website instead of updating through a third-party package/manager.
Also check whether Firefox has permission to write inside the profile folder. Corrupted profile permissions can cause logouts after updates.
If none of this works, create a brand-new Firefox profile and test it for a few updates.
