For many years now I've had Firefox clear
- browsing & download history
- temporary cached files and pages
- saved form info
but not
- cookies and site date
- site settings
This worked flawlessly until Firefox updated to version 136, at which point all cookies were deleted and I was signed out of every account on every website.
Looking at the settings page, the option to delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed is now enabled. I don't remember what this setting used to look like, but I did not change it recently.
Unchecking the box seems to work, but I shouldn't suddenly have to do this, and the "damage" is done.
Why did the update to version 136 sign me out of every website, and how do I protect myself against this happening again?
