Windows 10. Within the last week lock-wise behavior has changed. When starting Firefox, Logins & Passwords is empty. To get it filled I'm required to login to my Firefox account and sync. When Firefox is closed I am auto disconnected from the account and Logins & Passwords is cleared. Previously I did not have to login to Firefox to access the saved passwords. I've tried various combinations of History settings and login out of Firefox but lock-wise is always empty when Firefox is restarted. I do not have this issues on IOS platforms (phone or tablet).

How do I prevent auto disconnect or lockwise emptying when Firefox is closed? Thanks

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
