No Longer Staying Signed In to Outlook

I use Microsoft Outlook through GoDaddy for website-related correspondence. The Outlook sign-in page has a selectable option to remain signed in, which I check. This has worked for years: each time I open Firefox, I have been automatically signed in to my email account.

Until recently.

Now, I am NEVER signed in to my account, even though I check the "Keep me signed in" box at each login.

To experiment, I downloaded Google Chrome and have been using it for a few weeks. I stay signed in using that browser, with no issues.

Any ideas about fixing this issue?

Show your settings. see screenshot When I close the browser I prefer to not stay logged in. Let me test your process by changing my settings and see what happens.

By unchecking Clear history when closing Firefox. I restarted the browser, signed in, and checked the option to stay signed in and was automagically signed into Hotmail after restarting the browser.
