I use gmail and yahoo as email accounts. I want FF to log me in to those accounts when I load FF. I can't figure out how to do this.

To be clear the following are not my problem: How to get gmail and yahoo to load when I open FF. It already does this. How to get FF to remember my login names and passwords. It already does this.

I want it to go one step further and log me in to those sites with the login name and password when I load FF. I can do this with Chrome.

In other words, so I don't have to log in to my email accounts each time I open FF.

Typically an issue with Cookies; either not being saved or cookies are being deleted as Firefox is being shutdown via a "user setting" in Firefox; or maybe a 3rd party external application (security suite or 'cleaning program') is interring with how Firefox normally works.
