Sorry, I'm not sure I understand... proxy settings? Themes? What could this have to do with my issue?

In the case I may not have given enough information, I've signed into two Microsoft accounts on Firefox: my school account, which I use exclusively for checking my school email on Outlook, and my personal account, which I use for everything else. My problem is whenever I go onto a Microsoft website, it often forgets I was signed in on my personal account, and leaves me either signed out or signs in automatically with my school account. In the cases where I'm signed out, clicking the account button shows me the option to sign into my school account or to another account, and clicking the latter either instantly signs me into my school account or brings me to a new page asking to sign in with either my school account or another account (This is also where I end up if I find myself signed into my school account and select to sign into another account). From here I can choose the appropriate option and when prompted to fill in my email, no autocomplete does it as I might expect, but after inputting it I am never prompted for a password—it signs in instantly.

I always have an Outlook tab open on my school account, and I don't believe I've ever been signed out there.

I tried clearing cookies as you suggested but I'm afraid it didn't work. I'll also note this issue has persisted over full reinstallation of Windows so corrupted local settings are unlikely to be an issue.

Hi! If you are signed in instantly, that is most likely done by Microsoft's SSO, as the browser does no such thing, it fills your login forms, but does not send them automatically.

Well that's very ironic, as I initially posted about this issue on the Microsoft forums but was told it was more likely a browser issue 😅 Guess I'll take it back there, thanks!
