I guess the SSO token will still be valid, just not usable for SSO purposes after those 30 days. And most likely you will just have to click "Accept" again on the cookie popup to get it working as before for another 30 days.

However, dont basically all SSO cookies live far shorter than 30 days? To my knowledge all SSO services i have used have expired earlier requiring me to log back in again.

At least in the case of Google auth: While G may reauthenticate you every 30 days, it's global to your web browser. So after you have reauthenticated, you are back to "logged in" to websites you've logged in to with Google.

In the "old way" you only need to reauthenticate to Google, Microsoft, etc once a month.

With this new Firefox UX, you still need to reauthenticate to Google, Microsoft, etc once a month, but you also need to click "OK Keep StorageAccess granted" once a month for every website that you use federated login on. There are few auth providers but many more auth consumers.
