Ask HN: Is Google logging you out on Firefox?

4 pointsby vincvincover 1 year ago
Starting some point in the last few months, my Google Account on Firefox on my desktop keeps being logged out every few hours.<p>I had not changed any setting, used any VPN, etc.<p>It’s very annoying, since it means constantly losing progress in any Gmail and Youtube tabs.<p>It doesn’t happen in Chrome, on mobile apps, etc.<p>I wonder if I’m the only one.

I&#x27;m having some trouble with YouTube. Possibly, Videos don&#x27;t load fast for some reason. Now, I remember a YouTube Video about something related to this issue and Chrome&#x27;s web integrity.<p>I think, Google is trying to push ads more and more.

Are there any extensions that you installed recently, say a few months ago? I can otherwise report that my installation of Firefox with which I have used to log into a Google account has never been inexplicably logged out from said account as far as I can remember.

It happens to me with my work Google account under a Google Workspace plan. I also lose data. We&#x27;ve filed a couple tickets on the matter and they state they don&#x27;t know what&#x27;s going on and recommended I use Chrome instead.

Nope, I&#x27;ve never been logged out of my Google account by mistake. Are you using Incognito mode, or an extension, or some sort of proxy setup?

Yes but on chrome. Might be a workplace policy because never under personal accounts

I have my personal gmail pinned (on FF) and was never logged out of it.
