Wondering if the recent Firefox 58 update could have caused login issues with my Facebook login settings. Seems unlikely but before the update I was able to simply click on the Facebook icon and Facebook would open. Now when I click on the icon I am taken to a login page that requires me to enter my username and password each time. I have revisited all the settings in Facebook and everything is configured to open Facebook directly by merely clicking on the icon?
Any one have thoughts?
Firefox update to v 58 interferred with Facebook login

Not seeing that problem here but it could be a settings issue in Firefox. Do you have the browser set to delete cookies upon exit?

Thanks Dan, yes I checked my settings and cookies are kept until Firefox is closed. Do you think that might be related to my issue with Facebook?

Yes. I believe Facebook may store cookies to facilitate log in on your next visit. Try making an exception for Facebook in the Firefox settings for cookies.

Dan, I looked at my Firefox settings and it is set to allow cookies from all websites and Facebook is not excepted? Under show cookies Facebook is not listed - should it be? Still confused on why there was a sudden change that required complete login each visit.

Do you have the same problem if you create a new profile and test it with no extensions or non-default themes installed?

Not sure what is now happeniong but today Facebook opened without a login as it has in the past? Will see how long it will continue.
Thanks for your assistance and interest Dan
