I've been using Firefox for years now, but since a few weeks when I close my browser and restart it, I have to log back in on all of my accounts. This can be a pain in the *. Especially when I have to log back in to whatsapp constantly with a QR code.

This issue occurs to all my accounts in Firefox.

Anyone knows how to solve this issue? I want to open my web pages without constantly logging back in.

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.


Macs: Make sure you install Firefox properly and that you do not run Firefox from within the DMG (Disk Images) file. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
