Most of the time, my Firefox account on my browser pretty much always logs out when I turn on the computer, or even when I close the browser for a period of time, then re-open again only to sign in all over again in order for my account to sync.

I looked at the possible problems and the methods to resolve the issue, but I honestly could not understand what was written there.

Does this happen for a lot of other people aswell?

You may be in Private Browsing mode or told Firefox not to remember.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.
