The box "Delete Cookies and Site Data when Firefox is closed" becomes unchecked every time I quit Firefox.
The box "Delete Cookies and Site Data when Firefox is closed" becomes unchecked every time I quit Firefox. Is there a way to be sure that it stays checked so that I don't have to open preferences every time I open Firefox?

Are you possibly using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to cookies or Site Preferences ?
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
[X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox
- using "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" keeps cookies with an allow exception
- using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear cookies clears all cookies including cookies with an allow exception you may want to keep
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
Evidently that will be fixed in Firefox 103.0. (Remove blank space in the link below.)
