Firefox update signed me out of all websites.

I am not keen on saving all login information to the master password. Firefox update never did this to me, until yesterday on 03/12/20, it did. Is there a way to prevent this from happening again, or is resistance futile?

Hi Jettugi, did you install the Facebook Container add-on around the time this happened? A couple of users have reported that their cookies were removed when they did that, but it might be a coincidence.
