Trouble with auto log in
Even though I have clicked autofill logins and passwords I still have to log in turn whenever I start up my browser. What can I do to make sure I do not have to manually log in every time I start up my browser. I only started having this problem a few days ago

The option about autofilling login information does not determine whether or not you stay logged into your account after you close Firefox.
That's done using cookies. You will need to make sure that websites are allowed to save cookies in Firefox and that cookies are not cleared automatically when you close Firefox.
Hope this helps.
How do I make sure websites are allowed to save cookies on firefox and that they are not cleared auto magically when I close Firefox
Your ‘logged-in’ status is stored in special cookies. If the cookie is removed, you are logged out.
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.
