So i'm using firefox for a few years now, and i never had this problem before, it started like a week ago or something. I used to stay login/connected (i don't really know the correct word for this) on my google/facebook/.../ account all the time, i mean i check the "remember me" case everytime, so i don't have to reconnect everytime i use facebook or gmail/youtube. Even when the i close firefox and went back 3 days later for example i would stay connected, and i liked that, a lot. But lately, i'm getting disconnected every now and then, and i mean more like everyday when i turn off my computer maybe. So i don't really now if this is the right place to ask but, is firefox deleting my login cookies or something ? Or maybe google and facebook forbid people to stay connected i don't know? How can i stay connected on my accounts? Note: i don't have the "delete cookie on firefox closing" enabled, that's why i don't really understand what's happening

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. and whatever else you want.

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.
