Getting logged out when I close out Firefox mobile on iOS

I do 99% of my browsing on Firefox mobile on iOS. Lately (possibly since I update to iOS 16.02), I’ve been logged out when I fully close out the app (swiping up).

    Are you checking the "Keep me logged in" checkbox?

      Yes. It seems to be unchecking me somehow.

        Try clearing your tildes.net cookies, then log back in with the "keep me logged in" checked. Sometimes cookies get corrupted and need a refresh.

          Did the above (or anything else) fix it for you @nukeman, or is it still happening?

            Update: it has not been fixed. Deleting cookies worked for a bit, but it’s back to logging me out.

            It seems to have fixed it, thanks!

              I removed the [SOLVED]. Looks like there is actually a known issue with Firefox on iOS 16: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/12279...

              So prob nothing you or Tildes can do to fix it. :(

                Thanks for finding and linking those issues @cfabbro. I've been having the same issues with tildes and kagi.com (oddly, as some users noted in the GitHub issues, with Kagi I can always refresh and suddenly be logged back in; with tildes when I refresh I'll get my preferred color scheme back, but still be logged out!). Hopefully they figure out what's going on soon, but it's nice to have a ticket to follow, at least!
