Skip Sign In at Hotmail.com Not Working
This is about Hotmail.com/Outlook.com, the web email version.
My hotmail.com email is set up so I don't have to sign in on my laptop. Of course, if I delete my history, then I do have to sign in, but I always check the box so I can skip the sign in page.
The other day, I did a Windows Update (Windows 11). That's all. I did not delete my history or anything. But I had to sign into Hotmail. And yes, I am clicking "Yes" to skip the sign in page.
Turns out, I don't have to sign in when I use the same Firefox browser that I signed in on. But if I x out of my browser, and open up a new browser, I have to sign in. It was never like that. I was always able to skip the sign in page.
I thought this was a Microsoft Issue, but I am skipping the sign in page using Chrome. So it's a Firefox issue.
So what is going on? And how do I skip the sign in page even after I open a new browser?

Now it's working. I unchecked the "Clear history when Firefox closes" box. I do not know how that was checked.
(I would have deleted this post but I didn't see any way to do so.)
"Clear history when Firefox closes" covers a lot of different categories. The most critical one for staying signed in is cookies. You can use the "Manage Exceptions" button in the "Cookies and site data" section of the page to preserve your live.com or office.com or other Microsoft site cookies if you ever want to turn cookie clearing back on.
I'll just keep it the way I had it, with the box unchecked. That's fine.
