I want to log out of all the the active logins when i shut off Firefox AND keep all the currently open tabs for next time. I have checked "Clear history" box and all the sub-boxes in settings except for "Browsing and download history" because that gets rid of all currently open tabs as well.

any other options please?

You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore in the sessionstore.js file. The browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and uses the same values.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

You can let the cookies expire when you close Firefox to make them session cookies.

Create a cookie 'allow' exception for cookies that you would like to keep.
