Ever since I installed the update for version 60 I find that I have to log into Facebook and YouTube every time I go to either site. How do I correct this?

Ever since I installed the new version of Fire Fox (version 60) I find that I have to log into site such as Facebook and YouTube every time I visit time. I didn't have this problem with the older versions of Fire Fox. I have tried fixing the problem on the sites themselves, but so far nothing that I have done has worked. With the older versions of Fire Fox, I was already logged in every time I visited the site. Is this a safety feature of the new version of Fire Fox? And, if so, how to fix this problem?

I tried doing what you suggested, but it didn't solve the problem. I still have to log into both Facebook and YouTube every time I visit either site.
