How to get tabs to function as before update.

Before update I could log into my google account and have that log in be active from tab to tab. Since update this functionality has ceased. How do I create this functionality?

Thanks for reporting back. Sometimes you have to blow out the dust and then everything works fine.

Hi auclaire.greg, if you log into your Google account in tab #1, then open a new tab to another Google page in tab #2, Firefox should send Google the same set of cookies it set in tab #1, and Google should serve you a logged in version of the page in tab #2. This hasn't changed in Firefox 57.

Could you check your cookie settings as described in this article: Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them.

Thank you for your reply jscher2000! I checked as described in the article and my settings were as required. I got to poking around and discovered that my wife's account was sort of logged in but not. If I logged into my account I could see hers to switch too but it didn't show up on it's own. I logged everyone out restarted FF and wahlah we're back in business. Thanks again!!!
