what settings will allow use of shopping lists on my retail accounts
In the past i have created & added to my shopping lists on various retail online accounts. example: Walmart, pet stores, etc. Now i am unable to add products to any of my various accounts. I get kicked back to a login prompt even though i am already logged in. Since it happens on different websites, i think changes in my Firefox settings may be the problem.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.
- Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

i am checking out my cookies as u suggested. I had thought the problem might be with Firefox changes i had made, either in cookies, java script, or java. tyvm for your response, & tyvm for being a mod.
Some sites are sensitive to changes in your connection. For example, if your IP address changes but you are still able to deliver the same cookies, the site may suspect that you are hijacking a session and require you to log in again. If you use TOR or another service that rotates your IP address to anonymize your connection, you may need to turn that off for your shopping sites.
