I have already set it to "Remember history" still it deletes cookies after closing it – Mayur Patel Jun 18 '15 at 11:52
In custom settings for this field you have more detailed options, try to test it – suvroc Jun 18 '15 at 12:01
Also update your Firefox to the latest version because of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1001421 – suvroc Jun 18 '15 at 12:02

From here

To summarize:

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
do not clear Cookies
do not clear Site Preferences 
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies that have an allow exception.
Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History 
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox.
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox" 
Make an Allow exception for the ones that you want to keep.
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
