i just downloaded firefox and it wont let me log off my twitter. i did the 'automatically download bookmarks from chrome' option but i deleted them afterwards. tumblr and twitter were the only sites that already had me signed in when i visited them but tumblr let me sign out. everytime i try to log out of twitter it takes me to the usual screen they show when you log out (a promotion for the twitter app for mobile phones) but the little button at the top that tells you to sign in isnt there, instead it has the button for you to write a new tweet and it keeps my twitters background. since i just downloaded it i dont have any extensions or add ons and my cache is empty so i honestly dont know what to do. i tried troubleshooting but it didnt work and im not really good with coding, like once you tell me what to do i can do it, but i cant do it on my own, so i dont know if the file was like corrupted when i downloaded it or something...
