Hi there:

I'm using Firefox as my primary browser on Mac OS Big Sur on my MacBook Pro. Everytime Firefox crashes and/or I need to re-start it, I have to sign back in to at least 8 of my social media accounts (tabs) that I use al the time manually -- which has been happening more frequently. What's the fix?

Thanks much,


Kelli

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

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address box. 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.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
