I've recently moved back to Firefox after using Chrome for many months but I'm unable to get Firefox to stay signed in.

I sign in and then it will sign out again of its own accord. I've tried logging in again, Deleting my account and creating a new one.

I'm using Fedora 26 Linux, KDE Desktop AMD64 Firefox version 55.0.2

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Make sure you allow cookies for the accounts.firefox.com domain if you aren't allowing cookies generally or use extensions that deal with cookies.

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
