Having to repeat logins on many sites
Unlike before, many sites that I visit regularly, I am now having to log in every time I visit, including support.mozilla.org.
Did I unknowingly change something, some setting? or perhaps it's due to an addon?

As you know, you stay signed in to sites because Firefox sends them the cookies they set during previous page views. There are many possible reasons for cookies to be deleted or missing when you visit a site. The reasons could be related to Firefox deleting cookies when it closes, or using the site in a private window (those cookies aren't saved to disk) or in a container, etc. Can you provide more information about when the problem arises?

I have the Cookiebro cookie manager. As you probably know, the toolbar button menu lets you establish a whitelist. All these sites are on the whitelist.
I also use the Clear Browsing Data addon. It is set to clear cache and cookies, but only for the past hour.
On this site, https://support.mozilla.org, until today, for at least a month now, it's been happening
I could understand maybe you inadvertently clearing your cache and cookies, causing you to re-login one time, but how do we explain having had to log in every time I go to these regularly visited sites.
One example would be the Tenforums https://www.tenforums.com/. I generally never have to log in there
This is another site with the login problem. A nationwide supermarket. https://www.albertsons.com/shop/product-details.237050087.html. Also, I've mentioned this before. I don't know if it's cookies related, but I get irregular behavior on some sites, like this one, seems like more often lately, and I must reluctantly use Chrome to work those sites. What you see here is a page that will not load that "Similar Items" section. The cursor is hovering over what can be described as a perpetually spinning gear.
