When I close firefox, I am staying logged into websites. Before when I closed out from a website everything was cleared.I am clearing everything but info stays
Before when I closed out of a website, all the information would be deleted, which I liked. Now all the information stays in. If I log out of the website, then I must re-enter with a password. Also, before when closing out of my bank website, I had to fill in the state with my passwords. Now if I don't log out when I enter the website again, all the information is there and I don't like it.
If this continues, you will lose a long time user of firefox. I even use the tool icon and choose the options and try to close out eliminating everything, but the information still stays if I don't log out. Again, before all I had to do was close out without logging out and all information I entered was gone. Don't like this at all.
Please advise asap. I will be researching and looking for another search engine. Thank you and Merry Christmas

Are you logging out before closing Firefox?
Do you leave tabs open form that website?
Firefox stores cookies used in tabs that are currently open in the sessionstore.js file as part of saved session data, so those cookies will be restored if Firefox is closed without first closing these tabs.
You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
The browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and uses the same values.
