Hello there's just been an update on my laptop for Firefox.. and now I'm logged out of every account I had opened on my browsers!! I googled this and seemingly this problem has happened before with Firefox..

History cache and browsing must be constantly cleared to access various sites. Ongoing, constant event to send this mail. Problem now. Bank site tech helped me trouble shoot Seems hitting Ctrl F5 bypasses (so far, it seems) he suggests you look at this ME, I am about ready to jump out of Firefox after years of pledging loyalty

Desktop and laptop--all upgraded with anti-virus software. Why does firefox randomly log me out of websites and delete my cookies--WITHOUT me doing anything? At work, my password book is at home--so being logged out is annoying and stressful Help me with telling me how to STOP being randomly logged out by firefox for no apparent reasons?? PLEASE!!!

When I've had trouble signing-in to a commercial website, it often says, "Clear your cache." But in Firefox settings, it looks like clearing it will cause my frequently-used passwords to disappear. Am I reading that correctly? If it's true, how can I clear my cache without losing "remembered" passwords and other log-in information?

I'm not very tech-savvy, so need instructions in very plain, "for dummies" English. Thank you for any help.

Since the last update or two, cookies are filling up crazy fast - especially from Facebook - and I'm barely on it even these days. AND, I am not surfing other sites either, just working (claude/chatgpt only mostly).

Yet - this is JUST from today. How on earth is this possible??

I can't block cookies because things won't work the same - but this is ridiculous to have to empty everything constantly/daily.

What changed? Can you guys please fix this?

I am using firefox on linux since ~10 years. Currently running latest FF on Kubuntu. I always had setting set to forget all cookies and session details except of search history on exit.

Since approx 2-3 weeks (latest update?) those settings don't work. FF remembers everything regardless of settings I chose.

Does anyone have idea why this is happening now and how to fix it?

Sometimes, after restarts, FF forgets every site I'm logged into. Open tabs persist, the login sessions do not. I have no better observation of when this happens, I'm afraid - it's not every time. Because of this it's very hard to reproduce reliably - over the past 2 weeks, it didn't happen and now it was 2 days in a row. "Clear cookies and site data" is definitely off. I have no extensions apart from Dark Reader and uBlock. Because my daily work requires me to use a dozen sites I have to log into, all using 2FA, this is incredibly annoying. I have also completely reset my profile, which did help for a while but then it started again - so I'm thinking the profile reset was more of a coincidence than actual causality.

After uploading Firefox Update 115.35.2ser, Cookies and Site Data will not fully clear. The Clear Data button removes some cookies and data, but there is always 122 KB of disk space still there that will not be removed. I have deleted my add-ons, but that had no effect.

This happened once before (several years ago) but only went away with a new update.

If I use the "refresh Firefox feature will that fix the problem and if I use that feature will all of my bookmarks be lost?

see question, please. using win10 (because of compat issues with some of my development software. if i make a change to one of my websites (reload a modified page), i have to get out of firefox so cookies will be deleted. That's a bit painful, as i am making a lot of web changes on my servers just now. The circular "reload page" button does not always help. thank you
