FireFox signing me out of every site when I restart my computer.
I've dealt with this over a month now and I'm sick of it. There is no reason for this. I manage multiple YouTube accounts and have since abandon three of them over this. It's not even worth it anymore. Why am I being signing out every time I restart my Mac? I scavenged through the settings and there's nothing on "mass sign me out of all websites when I update FireFox or restart my computer". I can kill/ force quit FF and everything is still signed in, it's only when either FF updates or I restart my computer. It's sickening and a burden, hopefully; this isn't some key security feature that Mozilla thought was a great idea. I need some easing and for someone to tell that this is an easy fix and not some b.s. bug that will never be patched.
