After I use a cleaning tool to clean out cookies and activity and whatnot. (I'm using 'Wise Disk Cleaner') I am no longer logged into my mozilla account. (which is expected)

This is where my trouble begins. When click the profile icon and click 'Account disconnected' I am taken to a settings panel with "You are signed out of {my account} There is a shortcut there that take me to accounts.firefox.com and I am greeted with a flashing infinite loop that says "Local storage and cookies are required"

I end up having to go to the "Settings/Privacy and Security" and clear all my browsing data and cookies. Then I can try to login and the actual login screen appears

My second issue is... this login screen seems to be specifically designed to prevent password managers. Once there I need to enter my code for 2ndfactor...

All this to say... is there an easier solution? Normally I just click 'login', swipe my finger on my finger print reader and my password manager enters the information and I am logged in.

(And all this just so I can sync a few dozen bookmarks)

'I use a cleaning tool to clean out cookies and activity and whatnot.'

Just wondering if using the inbuilt Fx clear all when closing Fx would suit you as it would be easier
