I'm using a new Mac laptop and signing into Firefox for my favs. Firefox is making me sign in each time I load it. How do I stay logged in?

I want to stay logged into Firefox. Each time I load Firefox, it's asking me to sign in. I then have to hit home to get my homes pages. I don't want to have to log into FF each time.

You don't need to 'log-in' to Firefox to use it. Are you talking about a web site? Or the Master Password?

I have to login to the "Firefox Account" every time I start Firefox on my new Macbook; Firefox on my old Macbook stays logged into the "Firefox Account".

@ Sue

Is the Firefox Password Manager enabled and working properly?

Firefox stores the credential to login to the Firefox Account in the Password Manager, so if you need to login again then this could mean that this login date isn't stored.

Are you on Mac or on another platform (Windows)?

It looks fine. I'm on a Mac. Signed into sync to sync from one Mac to another.
