I have a Blogger site. I normally sign on in the morning and out at night.I need to close FF off and on throughout the day. Normally that's no problem, now suddenly, when I close and reopen FF I find I've been signed out and most sign in again.

This just started. And it's a pain. any ideas as to why and how to fix this?

Thanks Ed
