I find i get logged out of sites a ton on Firefox on iOS after very little time

Is there any setting or something I could do to change this? Or is it just a bug/intentional feature?

I have have this problem as well and it seems to be getting steadily worse. I feel like it must be q bug, but haven't looked in to it much.

Not an iOS user, but this questions poped up in my head ... maybe someone here know the answer. Since firefox on iOS uses the underlying safari core, how much of the cookie managment/handling is actually even done by firefox itself?

A valid question

Firefox on Android doesn’t seem to have this issue from my experience

I have been getting logged out of the Wordle game site about every 2nd or 3rd day for the last month.

I had the same issues until a month ago but it stopped for no reason.

I've recently run out of space. Browser didn't have a second thought about deleting all websites' data.

Are you ever clearing cookies?

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope, never manually anyway

Double check that the setting to clear cookies when closing the browser isn’t turned on. I had the same issue the other day.

I don't see this setting on iOS
