As the title says, FF seems to selectively forget cookies and thus requires me to constantly re-login.
I’ve had the exact same issue on two separate machines both running Ubuntu. My best guess is, that snap is at fault here, but I have no idea, why.
To reproduce the issue, I just have to perform the arcane ritual of “closing the app” and whoosh, cookies are gone. Plugins and settings persist, no “delete on close” option whatsoever is active. Vanilla Ubuntu shows exactly this behavior.
There is a setting that cleans cookies when you close the app. Maybe it is enabled for some reason?
No. I said so in the post.
Yes, and that does not have the issue.
Would it make sense to stick to the good old DEB package instead of the snap then?
The Mozilla Team PPA seems to be legit. If you’re not sure how to do it, please take a look at OMGI Ubuntu guide which uses the same PPA.
I wanted to say “I’m not sure. I’m not on Ubuntu” but then I remembered about distrobox 😄
It took only a few minutes to confirm that the links I shared earlier (https://lemmy.ml/comment/3090571) do NOT install the snap version.
@bahmanm @agressivelyPassive why is there so many issues with snap? I have ran into some issues with snap installed apps in just 2 weeks of using linux
I have a similar issue (also Firefox on [K]ubuntu 22.04) every time I open a link on a logged-in site in a new tab, but in my case merely refreshing the page is enough to get me logged back in.
I assume is most likely the fault of the fairly aggressive mix of extensions I’m running rather than Firefox itself, but I haven’t actually tried to troubleshoot it yet.
