home page prompts for a log in instead of going to saved page
I have a specific page (Protopage) a news/weather aggregator. I have that page designated as my Home page when I open the browser at the beginning of the day. When I open the browser, I am taken to the login page as opposed to the page itself. Firefox is the only browser that prompts me for a log in; I do not get a login prompt when opening Chrome or Vivaldi. I want to eliminate Chrome and Vivaldi because Firefox has proven itself to me to be more secure and faster in A/B testing. However If I cannot open Protopage without a login prompt, I will discontinue the browser's use
Thanks for your time
