Firefox keeps logging me out of Youtube and Gmail even though I have everything turned off
So I've scoured the Firefox community help and have done everything: disabled cookie auto-delete, make sure I have "always use private browsing mode" unchecked, make sure Firefox always saves logins/history/etc., have security set to "Standard," and have added exceptions to the Firefox security; yet, despite all this, I'm still getting logged out everytime I close the browser. I'm getting to my wit's end!
What else can be done to fix this? It's really frickin annoying having to sign back into everything, everytime I open Firefox. Thank you in advance.

Disabled all the extensions and the problem persists.
What are your settings in Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data, History?
How are you 'closing' Firefox? You should use the menu exit command or exit shortcut then wait, say, 30 seconds, before shutting down your OS.
Does it still happen in a new profile without signing into Sync? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile.

I usually just press the "X" in the top right corner. And it doesn't happen after I shut down my OS, it happens everytime I close Firefox.
In Security, I have it set to "Standard" and have told it to save site data, cookies, don't do the erasing thing.

Yes and yes. I've tried it while signed out and in; downloaded Developer Edition and same deal - everytime I close Firefox Vanilla or Developer Edition, get signed out of everything. And I have tried with Cookies Auto-Delete disable and enabled, but with Youtube and Google whitelisted.
You shouldn't have any extensions installed when testing. If it happens in a new profile without signing into Sync and no extensions, some other software on your system might be purging cookies.
Does it still happen if you reboot in Windows Safe Mode?
I've tested with new profile, with signed out, no extensions, and still having issues.
I don't think it's an issue with my computer itself - I don't have this issue with Chrome, Steam, just Firefox.
Only Firefox is refusing to remember to login to Youtube, Twitch, Google.
