I cannot figure out what the deal is. Every time I launch Firefox I have to re sign into YouTube. I have tried the following troubleshooting methods after looking it up.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

and whatever else you want.

This is not working I have also disabled all extensions and am still having this issue. It is only with YouTube no other site does this to me.

Also double check Addons are not causing YT to logout as there been cases Addon causing YT issues if they block cookie tracking from YT. Make sure your enhanced isn't so extreme that it's not blocking YT as well.
