I don't know if this is a Firefox or Google issue tbh, but I'm getting signed out of Google more than once a day lately for no reason and this is getting really annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Edit: I was able to narrow down to Nodium. As I visit a medium website with the extension enabled, I need to sign in again to Google. It seems they're a bit sloppy when deleting medium cookies.
Yesterday I checked if there were unknown devices in the security dashboard, but everything seemed alright. The supposedly signed out devices still show up as active sessions, which leads me to believe something's up between Firefox and Google.
And it's only happening with Google, for both accounts that I use. I disabled some extensions that could be getting in the way, but that didn't help. There's also no "you were signed out message", yesterday I was even using Google Meet when it happened and I just got kicked out of the meeting.
No issues here - not for a long time now.
I'd say with confidence that this is something with your USER data - maybe settings, maybe extensions, maybe something got corrupted. The first test is with a fresh profile, the second test is with a freshly rebuilt (via sync) fresh profile.
To test:
about:profilesmake a new profile with your name. If you have a `/chrome' folder you can copy that across. 2.Open that in a new window, and test it (maybe just add your password manager and sign in with Google). If that's good, then synchronise the new profile.I have no issues, using uBlock (disabled only for a few private sites I wish to allow ads) and a rake of YouTube (Enhancer, Sponsorblock, Dislike etc).
Whenever I mess with a new profile, I will generally copy my Firefox folder to create a duplicate on desktop, then I can experiment by moving stuff into the current profile - to restore bookmarks, history or whatever else.
I have hourly snapshots, so if anything messes up it's easy to reboot back to the last hourly snapshot... YMMV.
I've just narrowed it down to Nodium. it deliberately deletes cookies, but it only does it for websites with com.medium.reader content tags. As soon as I load a medium site, my Google accounts (and only these) are logged out.
