since I've signed up for sync and downloaded the firefox app on my Iphone, every time I close my browser it logs me off Facebook,Twitter, Reddit, etc. Don't know what I did to start this but cannot figure out how to change it back.

Web sites store data called cookies. Its the cookies that store your site information, including if you are logged on. Check the options and make sure cookies are enabled. Also, make sure that when Firefox closes, that cookies are not removed.

Note: Many anti-virus programs have the option to remove cookies / history. Turn those options off.

Thanks for your suggestion. I solved the problem shortly after posting. The problem was occurring because I had recently changed all of the passwords for those sites. I just needed to save the new passwords, now it works again. Thanks again, I need to learn to have a little more patients with computer issues.
