I clicked the box for "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed." and now every time I want to access one of my regular websites I have to log in and enter my passwords again. I want to UNcheck the box for "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" but the option is faded out and it will not allow me to UNcheck the box. How do I UNcheck the box for "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed."?

I am currently very frustrated with this, please give step by step instruction on how to resolve this issue. Thank you.
