So the issue started happening after firefox updated to version 91. Now every time i restart the browser, all site settings are reset. That includes acknowledging new machine sign-ins into gmail (every single time even after choosing to remember the device), entering verification codes sent to my email to sign into other websites that I never signed out of before closing the browser. Some websites like youtube and twitch I have to set up over and over again. This is extremely annoying and I've never had these issues before the update. I checked all the settings for clearing data upon closing the browser and none are enabled just like they have never been. I do not want to reinstall firefox as I have a load of personalized tweaks done that I cant even remember. Any suggestions?
