I have ten websites I visit daily (they are set up in my homepage); a half-dozen of those sites are set to remember me so that I am already logged on to those sites when Firefox comes up.

The past several weeks that automatic login has not been working (although it DID work for THIS website, which is NOT in homepage). I have to log in to each website every time I bring up Firefox and visit those websites, and I tell them again to remember me. If I open a new tab and go to a website again after having logged-in to the website in the original tab, I am already logged-in. If I close the Firefox window and bring it back up, I am back to having to log in manually to every website.

I tried using Chrome as a doublecheck, and the issue is not present in that browser.

So I am thinking the issue may have started with release 60.0.1. I do not see issues within my Firefox settings, shown below, but I am not terribly knowledgeable, either.
