"""""""Hi, new iMac, I just intalled firefox. All OK, I log in to sincronized the account w/ my other devices. Now, everytime I go into firefox, I'm asked to log in, my account is not on as I open it up, as it happens in other devices. So everytime I need to use it, I'm requested to follow the process of the login in. Anything wrong with the intallation?

Make sure you install Firefox properly and do not run Firefox from within the DMG (disk image) file.

Open the Firefox Disk Images file and drag the Firefox application to the Applications folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the Disk Images, but instead drag it out of the DMG folder.
