Firefox iOS keeps logging me out

I assumed I posted this question before but I can‘t find it in the forums:

Since some time (2-3 weeks?) Firefox on iOS keeps „logging me oug“ from any website I use.

On google every time I have to consent again, on my news site I have to re-sign in every time to use my subscription …

I am not using the private mode nor have I set to clean everything after closing anywhere (or I don‘t know where to set this).

I am syncing with firefox sync and on my desktop all is just fine. But on iOS it‘s so annoying I am about to drop firefox.

Is there anybody who‘s got an idea what is going on or how I can change this? I uninstalled the App, it‘s automatically kept updated, newest iOS and newest firefox iOS version installed. Nothing helps and cannot find any setting explaining this.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there! It sounds like you're having a bit of trouble with Firefox on iOS, and I totally get how frustrating that can be. It seems like the issue might be related to cookies or some settings. Here's something you can try: Open up Firefox on your iOS device, then tap the menu icon (three lines) at the bottom right. Scroll down and tap "Settings," then "Privacy." Make sure the "Clear private data on exit" option is turned off. This might help with the logging out problem. Also, check if you're blocking cookies somehow. Go to "Settings," then "Privacy & Security," and see if "Cookies" is set to "All" or "Third-party trackers." Sometimes, websites need cookies to keep you logged in. Hope this helps you stay logged in hassle-free! If the issue persists, don't hesitate to ask for more help.
