I have favourite most used sites on my toolbar - e.g. gmail, facebook. From last week each time I open up my computer if I want to go to one of these I have to sign in all over again. This never used to happen. It is driving me crazy. Any idea how to stop it happening please? Otherwise I shall have to stop using Firefox.
