Basically whenever I restore pages with Ctrl+Shift+T into a Google associated website it logs me out from my google account. This is supper annoying, but I don't know if this is a Google problem or Firefox has some weird bug. This happens to me mostly on Youtube and Gmail when I close the page do the page restore keybind and then I happen to be logged out even if I was logged in. Also I have multiple Google accounts and it logs all of them out when this happens :(

Not gonna share data because I don't think it will help. And I have some fear it will get stolen and used maliciously :\

Chosen solution

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

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

Edit: This has gotten much more frequent.. I opened up Youtube then Gmail and firstly Youtube was redirected to Gmail?! And then i got logged out. I have done multiple check-ups on my google accounts and only my devices are using them.. I'm gonna do some research with google as well. Maybe it's from their end.
