I use FF all day, every day and recently it stopped automatically logging me into my account when I open the browser. I've read through the other posts on this topic and tried everything from creating a new profile to changing the History settings. Unfortunately, none of the solutions provided have worked. I know it's only one password to type in and then my profile is synced and it retrieves my bookmarks, saved logins, etc. but it's very annoying to have to do.

Does anyone else have any other potential solutions?

Is this brand new because it only has began to be like this in the last week? Before that, every time I opened FF, it would automatically sign me into my FF account to sync my browser settings.

Firefox stores the credentials to login to the Firefox account in logins.json in the Firefox profile folder as the chrome://FirefoxAccounts login. This login is hidden from about:logins, so you won't find it there. When you lose this logins.json then you will have to reconnect.
