The first thing I would check is if the browser prefs have been set to dump cookies when it quits. In the Firefox I am using, under Privacy in Preferences, there is a checkbox: Accept from sites, and below that a sub option "Keep Until": <select/option> I have chosen "I close Firefox" from the selection list. I am using Firefox 54.0.1 (64-bit) on Mac OSX. The ttl of the cookie might not be set long enough during the time the browser is opened. That is all I can thing of. Best; JK
