Firefox loses logins and cookie settings after closing

After updating to version 112 from 111.0.1 Firefox keeps forgetting logins and cookie settings on all websites. After closing and reopening the browser I have to sign in again and the websites will ask for cookie permissions.

I tried reverting to 111.0.1 and creating a new profile and it did not have the same issue. I also tried disabling all extensions in version 112, but that did not help.

If your problem was caused by the future-dated cookies bug, there is a new update for that:

If you didn't have "Last Used" showing dates in the future, please provide more information about the problem. Thanks.

It is a bug in 112.0 - wait for a new version.

See:

  • /questions/1410735 Firefox update from 111.0.1 to 112 set the dates of most cookies into the far future and keeps doing it

You can try to clear all the cookies

If clearing cookies doesn't help, it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder that stores the cookies got corrupted.

  • rename/remove cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and when present delete cookies.sqlite-shm and cookies.sqlite-wal in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

Thanks cor-el, I will wait a bit to see if the cookies could be fixed according to: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1828126. Hopefully I won't have to resort to clearing everything.
