After re-opening firefox it logs me out automatically where I previously logged in during my last session. I have checked that cookies auto-delete is turned off in settings. And privacy is selected as "Standard". I am attaching a screenshot of current add-ons which are installed. Note that I do not use container tabs except for facebook container. And I am aware of all the features of container tabs. Is there any solution? OS: Windows 10 Home and using Firefox (stable version)
