i already remove the pref. i already also disabled the clear ache/cookies on close in settings. but the problem stills persists. i cant exactly figure out why..

[yokoffing]

I tested on a new Firefox profile with the latest user.js. No issues with Facebook account persisting between sessions.

• Go to ☰ → Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Exceptions → add https://facebook.com
• Are you using any DNS filtering? Anything going on there?

If you followed the steps here, then you should have a backup profile to revert to. But if you don't, you can make a new profile and migrate most things from your old profile (see here).

I am using the default user.js with no additonal modifications. Did a little bit more testing on this

Clear ALL history > Login to facebook > Asks for 2FA > close/reopen firefox > Login persists. This works for roughly a day

After a day or so

Visit facebook.com > login > asked to verify browser (no 2FA) > close/reopen firefox > login doesn't persist. Have to go back to cleaning history

I am using uBlock origin with the recommended filteres.
Not using any DNS filtering

i already add the facebook.com in my exceptions. both inside the firefox and the dns filtering (im using NextDns). i dont want to reach the point of having to revert things back again.. is there other options? if not i got no choice..

p.s
but the weird thing is. this only happens on facebook only. The rest of the websites are ok

I would ask for which ones specifically, but I don't think uBO filters apply to this issue.

Login to facebook > Asks for 2FA
the weird thing is. this only happens on facebook only.

Could this be because of 2FA? (I don't have 2FA active on my test FB account.) Perhaps FB requires you to login again when you have additional security settings activate (like 2FA).

For sites (like email) that I have 2FA active, it is very common for me to have to re-enter my credentials after 24 hours.

Adding facebook to exceptions works. I tried enabling betterfox options one by one. Couldn't find what causes this.

So, #272 (comment)

Couldn't find what causes this.

The pref privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown.

Betterfox/Securefox.js

Lines 452 to 460 in 4d23050

	// PREF: clear browsing data on shutdown, while respecting site exceptions
	// Set cookies, site data, cache, etc. to clear on shutdown.
	// [SETTING] Privacy & Security>History>Custom Settings>Clear history when Firefox closes>Settings
	// [NOTE] "sessions": Active Logins: refers to HTTP Basic Authentication [1], not logins via cookies
	// [NOTE] "offlineApps": Offline Website Data: localStorage, service worker cache, QuotaManager (IndexedDB, asm-cache)
	// Clearing "offlineApps" may affect login items after browser restart [2].

	//user_pref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);

Hi @yokoffing even though this is closed I don't think "privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown" is causing it. The pref has always been set to false on my profile. No DNS filtering. Might warrant some further investigation on which pref is leading to it for the future.

[yokoffing]

AFAIK, exceptions only applies to privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown.
