Add ons don't stay logged in
Each time my windows copy of Firefox closes and restarts add-ons like Last Pass and Pocket have to be signed in again. Is there a way to make them remember their credentials from session to session? The PC in question is not used outside our home. Thanks in advance for your help

A detail like a website remembering you (log you in automatically) is stored in a cookie.
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the Cookies
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
[X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
- clearing "Cookies" will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an allow exception you may want to keep
You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:
- create a cookie allow exception for websites to remember you
- use "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" to let cookies without an allow exception expire when Firefox is closed
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
