Firefox 81.0.1 not remembering cookies
Version 81.0.1 (64-bit) does not remember cookies. I logged in to my email, Facebook, LinkedIn and other sites and chose to remember the browser. When I restart the browser, I have to login again. This happens on all sites with passwords. I tried the sites and restarting Firefox several times with the same results.
I have disabled all tracker blocking, allowing everything through. Enhanced tracking protection is off for the sites. Cookies, etc. are NOT set to delete upon exit. This is new behavior. Earlier versions did not have this problem. Any idea of how to fix this?

Fred, thanks for the help. Clear History When Firefox Closes was set to clear cookies. Your information solved my problem.
