Why can't I sign into gmail on the same tab I'm on?

I keep a lot of pinned tabs, and one of those is my gmail account. After I delete cookies, I go to that tab to sign back in, and it opens another tab, causing me to have to pin and move the second tab and then delete the original tab.

Sometimes I'm taken back to login even after I've just left gmail for checking messages. Sometimes I can click and hold the back button and reopen it on an already sign-in instance of gmail, but not when I clear cookies.

This doesn't happen for any other site, just gmail. How do I fix this, or is there no fix?

Gmail nows requires either smartphone app to enter a PIN or it send PIN to you phone or have you phone on and it ask you to verify the login. This isn't a Firefox issue but Gmail itself. Clearing cookies will require those confirmation to get to gmail.

First, I'm on a laptop, not a phone. Second, I can tell you did not even understand the question, because English is not your first language. Is it Chinese? Sounds like it. It IS a problem with Firefox, because it doesn't do this on Chrome. As usual, it's never Mozilla's fault. Do you know the first sign of a serious mental illness? Blaming everything on somebody else. Guess I'll just switch to Chrome, like everybody else has, and it's all because Mozilla cannot admit to its own problems.
