I can't reproduce :|

If anyone has hit this issue (i.e. getting logged out of sites like Twitter and Google daily), it would be awesome if you could do the following things:

1) in about:config, ensure that the following prefs are set like this:

`privacy.purge_trackers.enabled` -> `true`
`privacy.purge_trackers.logging.level` -> `All` (capitalization is important here)

2) do the things you normally do to log into the sites you get logged out of

3) Open the [Browser Toolbox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Browser_Toolbox) and in the "Console" tab, enter the following code

```
await Components.classes["@mozilla.org/purge-tracker-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPurgeTrackerService).purgeTrackingCookieJars() 
```

*Note: As a security engineer I feel obliged to tell you to not normally do this, don't enter code from random internet people there.*

4) Look at the output that gets logged now. It will include a lot of personal information, mostly sites you've visited before, but no secret data such as logins. If you feel comfortable sharing all this information with me, please do. If not, please look for the lines mentioning the sites that you are getting logged out of, e.g. https://twitter.com and share those.

5) Finally check if you were logged out of Twitter etc. again and let me know.

Feel free to either comment on this bug or send your data directly to jhofmann@mozilla.com

Thank you!
