Sorry to hear about this Achim; I'm redirecting this issue to the dev-fxacct mailing list since this is likely to be caused by the Firefox Accounts code. We've seen this manage-account-forces-you-to-log-in-again behavior in the past when there's a problem with sharing localStorage state between the browser and web content on https://accounts.firefox.com. Could you please clarify a couple of things? * What's the full version string for the Firefox on which you're seeing this behavior? * Have you customized any privacy-related settings in Firefox, such as setting it to never store cookies, or never remember history?
