I recently did a refresh of the Mozilla browserwhich was recommended, but now whenever I open a new tab or window I have to log in to all my regular web sites.
I am experiencing a problem which seems to have occurred after I performed a refresh on the Mozilla browser. Prior to this when I opened a new window or tab I would be able to access sites which I had not logged off without a new logon every time. Now I have to login to every site which is ridiculous. It's as if the cookies are being cleaned out every time a new tab or window is opened. I can't find any settings which affect this. I want my browser to work as it did before concerning this. PLEASE HELP!

Why did you do the refresh? Were there problems?
Cookies are sent by websites. They store site information including your login data.
Profile data can be removed or not recorded several ways;
- 1) Running Firefox in Private Mode (nothing is recorded)
- 2) Privacy settings; (Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar.)
- 3) Many disk cleaners and anti-virus type programs can remove data from browsers. Open their settings and have them leave the browsers alone.
- 4) Mal-ware.
I did the refresh in response to what seemed to be a Mozilla generated auto message, because it was running a little slow. I guess I didn't expect it to be a big deal. This issue does not relate to Private Mode (I rarely use this feature), and I don't really think it has anything to do with either a disk cleaner or anti-virus software as I have been using the same programs as before with no changes recently. It seems to correspond to the refresh although I suppose it is possible that it's coincidental. I am going to try I fix that I saw on someone with a very similar issue and see if that fixes it. I will let you know what happens.

Well done. Your solution is normal for troubled websites.
