Oldstable (Debian 10 Buster), and Oldoldstable (Debian 9 Stretch) are
using EXACTLY the same version of Firefox, 91.5.0. Nothing has changed
on that front.
See here:

Being your banking - bingo!! Login retention time (in cookies) has been
set by your bank. Probably to one month, as you discovered. Ask them.
This (probably) has nothing to do with Firefox.
Just to be sure, that your Firefox doesn't not interfere with banking
cookies, go to Firefox settings, Privacy & Security tab, and check what
Browser Policy you are using. "Standard" is pretty much normal, but if
you are using "Strict" this may interfere with some cookies.

Sorry but I don't understand your connection between logged in pages (in
cookies) and bookmarks. Are you saying now, that you lost bookmarks list
in your Firefox profile? Or that you have been logged out of some pages?
If that's the bookmarks saved in your Firefox profile, what steps have
you taken to save/preserve/restore your profile?
