Your credit union is setting a cookie in response to you entering the sign-in code. Firefox is likely configured in some way to delete cookies when you quit the browser. Check for

Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies and Site Data -> Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed (Un-check the box.)

and

Settings -> Privacy & Security -> History -> Clear history when Firefox closes (If enabled, click the Settings button, then un-check Cookies.)

If this isn't exactly the Firefox setup you want, you can refine this process through Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies and Site Data -> Manage Exceptions. I expect there are also Addons that will give you more granular cookie control.

Hope that helps.
