Mirrors are inactive upon login, however Preferences show mirrors checked on.

Since my recent SL viewer update I've noticed my mirrors are inactive upon login. Thinking it was turned off by the update I went to look at preferences and found mirrors to be set on and the associated options to be correctly configured.
Setting mirrors off and saving, then setting the mirrors check bob on again (and saving) restored the mirrors.
However once again, after logging off, and back on (the next day) mirrors are once again inactive. And once again, mirrors are checked on in Preferences. Toggling the Mirror checkbox restores their operation until next time.

Thanks for the report, Wendy!
This is now tracked here: https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/issues/3331

toggling "water transparency" off/on will also get the mirrors to behave as expected again. At least on the most recent Firestorm Beta.
(Perferences > Graphics > General > Shaders: Transparent Water) or (Phototools > Env > Transparent Water)

Merged in a post:
Mirror effect requires toggling Mirrors off and then back on after relog
Hope Dreier
Reproduce:
Have a mirror, stand so you can see your Avatar, logout
Log back in, Mirror does not show Avatar.
open preferences -> Graphics -> advanced
Note that Mirror is checked.
Uncheck Mirror, note change in mirror texture.
Check Mirror, note that Mirror now works
Expected: Mirror effects should persist between sessions.

This bug only reproduces on post Extra-FPS viewers.
Firestorm ExtraFPS has also inherited this bug.
When mirrors are not working after relog, changing any graphics setting that forces a shader reload will get the mirrors to work, for example toggling the Shadows setting, reflection coverage or mirrors.
Hope Dreier
Whirly Fizzle is there a firestorm Jira on this?

Hope Dreier: Yes https://jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/FIRE-35007

Saving the preferences between toggling the Mirror check box off and then on again is not required to correct the operation of the mirrors for the current session.
