Firefox keeps asking to sign-in for the past few months, which gets me irritated each time. Why my Google accounts for mail, sheets, docs etc getting logged out each time I switch off my PC? When I switch it back on and open Firefox to access my Google tools like mail, sheets and other stuff, it asks for a log in every time. I have to sign in to my workspace every single time and also for my wordpress dashboard. Why does not this browser save my credential and show the dashboard directly just like in Chrome?

I want to save my login credentials forever so that I can jump into my stuff directly!

If you done these instructions and nothing changes that means you Addon/Extensions issue clearing out login saves. Otherwise could be a corrupted browser not saving worse case scenario here.

Detail like websites remembering you and log you in automatically is stored in cookies, so make sure you aren't clearing important cookies.

You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you.

  • create a cookie allow exception with the proper protocol (https:// or http://) to make a website remember you

You can check that you aren't clearing important cookies.

  • using "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" to clear cookies keeps cookies with an allow exception
    in 102+ version toggling this setting makes changes to the "Clear history when Firefox closes" settings and those settings prevail
  • using "Clear history when Firefox closes" in Firefox 102+ honors exceptions and keeps cookies with an allow exception, previous versions removed all cookies

Make sure to keep the "Site settings".

  • clearing "Site settings" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Exceptions"
  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
    [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings
