This could be caused by using private windows in Firefox. If you have used the new private browsing icon, you might want to switch back to using the regular icon.

Or if you are using the regular icon and Firefox still doesn't retain cookies (it's the cookies that sites use to recognize that you already signed in), you can check your Settings page, Privacy & Security panel, to make sure Firefox is set to retain them. Here's how:

Cookies and Site Data

If you have a check mark for "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" then you need to create an exception using the "Manage Exceptions" button (or when you are on the site, you can use the Page Info dialog, Ctrl+i, Permissions list, under "Set cookies" uncheck "Use default" and select "Allow" to create the exception).

History

There's a general selector:

  • Firefox will: Remember history => should be okay
  • Firefox will: Never remember history => prevents saving cookies for your next session
  • Firefox will: Use custom settings for history => need to check the details

With custom settings:

[_] Always use private browsing mode => must be un-checked [?] Clear history when Firefox closes => use the Settings button to check what is being cleared and make sure that "Cookies" are not set to be cleared
