Hi, I noticed Firefox keeps logging me out of accounts (Google, Forums etc including the account I am using through a VPN extension) I found solutions pointing to: Tools -> Options -> Privacy and unchecked “Always clear my private data when I close Firefox” However, do not have the "Options" under my Tool on the Menu Bar (as attached). I then proceed to Preferences -> Privacy & Security but was not able to locate “Always clear my private data when I close Firefox” checkbox. My Security settings are as attached. Please help! Thank you millions!

You may be in Private Browsing mode or told Firefox not to remember.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

Macs: Make sure you install Firefox properly and that you do not run Firefox from within the DMG (Disk Images) file. https://support&/#46;mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
