Deletes cookies and site data when Firefox is closed despite unticking that box
Firefox has taken to deleting cookies and site data each time I close. I have gone into Settings and unticked the box for this and all seems well for a short time, then it starts up again and when I go back into Settings, it shows the box ticked again. I untick it and sooner or later, it re-ticks it again and starts dumping my cookies/site data.
This seems to be part of a larger issue that has been happening over the last eight weeks or so where I need to reset Firefox frequently because it suddenly opens multiple windows and stops working unless I quit and restart. I'm sensing it has to do with Enhanced Tracking Protection but don't know how to stop the above from happening
I am on a Mac desktop running Ventura 13.7.4. I run Firefox at the Strict level (and have done so successfully for years.) I have extensions Adblock Plus, Don't Track Me Google, FoxClocks, Ghostery and Privacy Badger. These have all played nicely together for a long time. I also had Facebook Container and CanvasBlocker but these are currently disabled. I had hoped they might be the cause of the resetting issues as they've both been touchy in the past but there hasn't been any improvement since disabling them.
How can I stop Firefox from continually dumping my cookies and site data at the end of each session?
