After every firefox browser update, I get logged out of all the accounts that I was previously logged in like Gmail or other website accounts. I used Chrome previously and after Chrome update I was not getting logged out, but Firefox update logs me out. I am not sure whether there is a cookie setting for each update that I need to turn off or some other setting. I have exhausted my search in the browser setting but unable to find the reason for it. If anyone has any clue, it would be really helpful.

All browser do this if you close it they log you out regardless that is for security issues for all Browser. Chrome and what it does will log out as well. I know because I use Chrome and if I close it will log my accounts out regardless. This logout when a Browser closes is a Security issue they do for all Browsers.

I am not talking about when I close my browser. I am referring to when I update it, while updating chrome it doesn't log me out of gmail, but after firefox update it does log me out of all websites.
