I have to sign in every time I use the internet to get my mail, bookmarks, etc. and I never had to do this before - I was already signed in. This is a pain and I want to get back to where I can just click on Mozilla and my home page with me signed on is there.

"Remember me" options are stored in cookies. If this is only happening on one site, delete the cookies for that site and try logging in again to see if it solves the problem. For details on deleting cookies see the deleting cookies article.

If you have to sign in for all sites, follow the instructions in the websites say cookies are blocked article. If you are still having problems, make sure that no other applications are deleting cookies.

A final option is to delete the file that contains cookies, which will force Firefox to create a new file. Open your profile folder, for details of how to find it see the profiles article. Now close Firefox and delete or rename cookies.sqlite. When you restart Firefox that file will be re-created.

I can get into Firefox, it's just that I now have to log in for my mail and bookmarks - I did delete the cookies and I still have to log in. Before, when I accessed the internet I was already logged in for everything.
