I get logged out automatically from Gmail, Yahoo mail and Facebook after a few minutes ever since the latest Firefox update was installed. For example: I click on a link from Facebook and view it for a few seconds. I close the tab to get back to Facebook and I get a prompt from Facebook that I have log in again. This never happened before the latest update.

Please advise.

Maybe check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
