Why is it every time I close my firefox browser am I logged out of every website the requires a user ID and password?
Every time I close my Firefox browser, I'm logged out of every website the requires a user ID and password. Usually this only happens if there's a power outage or a site goes down. My e-mail is only supposed to ask for a password every 15 days, now it asks after I close my browser. And I had to reset my Facebook password to get in after closing the browser. I'm trying to determine if this is a Firefox issue, a Windows issue, or an issue with my security software, Norton Antivirus.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
- Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
- In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
- Do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
