Steps to reproduce:

This bug is very easy to reproduce and I can not figure out whether it is my phone doing this or firefox.

I log into a website, one of the ones (out of many) that I have saved in the firefox password manager -> I use the website and it works fine -> I don't log into that website or don't use firefox on android for 2-3 days -> I am logged out again. And the cycle continues.

This has happened in two unique instances:

Sometimes when I open the Firefox browser on my Android phone and select a tab with a website where I was logged into 2-3 days ago and now I am logged out.

The other times when I click on let's say an Epicgames.com link for example outside the firefox browser but when it opens in the firefox browser, I am not logged in. Even if I have logged into epicgames just 2 days prior.

Some prerequisites:

1. I use a common account between my PC and Android.

2. My enhanced tracking protection level in Firefox is standard.

3. I only use one extension: Ublock Origin on Android. (and A LOT more on Firefox Windows, some of which are ViolentMonkey, Return Youtube Dislike, Search by Image among others. - none of which mess with browser cookies)

4. I do not have private browsing always on for any tabs or pages I open.

5. I do not have 'delete browsing data on quit' switched on for any setting (history, cookies, etc).

6. Firefox is my default browser.

7. I have not cleared cache or storage from Firefox.

8. I do use Firefox on more than one device. One is this mobile and another is on Windows. Both share the same Firefox account.

9. Firefox on Android and Firefox on Windows are both up to date with latest versions installed.

10. No kind of battery and/or app restrictions are imposed on Firefox on Android.

11. The 'Remove permissions if unused' option is unchecked in the Mobile Settings for Firefox Android.

Actual results:

I got logged out of my websites, it doesn't matter what website- be it google or youtube or epicgames, etc and etc.
It just doesn't wanna save my login information in any website for longer than two (2) days.

Expected results:

It should keep me logged in like it does on Firefox PC, there I do not have to log into websites every 2 days.
