After recent FF update, sites now see me as a new user every time I connect. What happened?

Seattle PI provides access to many puzzles, including Crickler, and Parker's Universal Crossword. While using past versions Firefox, these puzzle sites kept metrics on my performance and adjusted puzzle difficulty or kept historical data based upon that performance. After updating to the most recent version, these sites don't recognize any of my past interactions with the site. I changed none of my setup info with Fire fox. What's happening?
