I have to sign in to all my programs every time I open Firefox. This just started a few days ago for no reason.
Email, Facebook, Amazon, etc., etc.

I think you meant websites.

You may be in Private Browsing mode or told Firefox not to remember.
Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.
Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.
Yes sorry, I meant websites. I set all to what you suggested and this did not solve the problem. My Yahoo email makes me sign in every time I get online and sometimes even when I am still online. Amazon also will not keep me signed in.
Profile data can be removed or not recorded in several ways;
- 1) Running Firefox in Private Mode (nothing is recorded)
- 2) Privacy settings; (In the address bar,
type about:preferences#privacy<enter>) - 3) Many disk cleaners and anti-virus type programs can remove data from browsers. Open their settings and have them leave the browsers alone.
- 4) Mal-ware.
