Problem with Firefox, it logs me out from websites after I restart

Hello World!

I have a small problem. I restart my computer and after I open firefox, I notice that I am logged out of a website, for example, Facebook. (Not the only one, but one of some).

I have tried checking if I got any sites blocked under my Preferences, there are no Exceptions, the cookies do show up and everything, its the perfect scenario to actually work lol.

Then I tried checking the ArchWiki, if you recall this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fi … nformation it mentions something about deleting a file called cookies.sqlite, I've tried that and still no work. I've tried making a new profile and deleting the old one, and it still doesn't work.

I currently have no Addons installed  because I deleted my old profile and I am currently in a blank one. Only got a few bookmarks and stuff.

I  then ran out of ideas, I tried google, all I could find was something wrong with people using a script blocking addon, which currently I don't have. So does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this?

Thank you very much you guys! Arch ROCKS!

Check if firefox is cleaning cookies when it quits. That could explain everything.

Preferences --> Privacy --> Clear History when Firefox Closes is the option.

Nope, that option is unchecked. The problem is that, that only happens to certain websites, for example gmail, facebook, and I just noticed that it also happens with my school's website. The rest it just seems fine.

I tried install Google Chrome yesterday as well just to check if it was Firefox giving me that problem and apparently the same thing happens as well. It's kinda weird, I mean, I usually don't have this problem in Windows.

Well, anyways, thanks for your reply!

The same thing is happening with me also, this never happened on my previous system (also arch).

One more problem I'm facing is that I need to keep running eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" & ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa. I don't even need to reboot the system to face this problem.

I saw some guy mentioning about systemd user, but I've not idea where to go from here.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Please open a new thread for each distinct issue instead of reviving a 14 year old thread.
