So the issue started happening after firefox updated to version 91. Now every time i restart the browser, all site settings are reset. That includes acknowledging new machine sign-ins into gmail (every single time even after choosing to remember the device), entering verification codes sent to my email to sign into other websites that I never signed out of before closing the browser. Some websites like youtube and twitch I have to set up over and over again. This is extremely annoying and I've never had these issues before the update. I checked all the settings for clearing data upon closing the browser and none are enabled just like they have never been. I do not want to reinstall firefox as I have a load of personalized tweaks done that I cant even remember. Any suggestions?

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.


Macs: Make sure you install Firefox properly and that you do not run Firefox from within the DMG (Disk Images) file. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
