Do keep in mind that some apps dont appreciate when you switch from one to another. Chrome is a good example; when you switch, for me anyway, all sites get logged out.

I mostly use Firefox but on the very occasional switch to Gnome to try something I've never seen what you describe. AFAIK browsers store their login cookies in a desktop-independent way, though I suppose there could be exceptions.
A bit off topic, but I have found that if you ssh into a machine, then run Chrome (I believe wayland was being used on source end), the saved passwords don't show up. They do if run locally directly on the machine. I haven't figured out why yet.
Not an expert, but IIRC a site is "logged out" when a local cookie is no longer valid, either because the browser (or something else) deleted it or because it has a validity window at the server end. If your browser deletes cookies on closing a session then you will need to log in again, but otherwise this shouldn't be necessary.
