After I noticed this Local Moxie (18 March 2013) had replaced all Firefox searches, I went to Google and looked this up and discovered that it is malware or worse. I have done all that Google said to do for removing cookies from this Local Moxie as well as page info and blocking it, in the tools section and I cannot get rid of it. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know how I can remove it, please?

I have Firefox set to delete cookies when closed. After I close Firefox, I usually run CC Cleaner. In the Analysis, CC Cleaner shows 307 cookies using a total of 0 space.

In XP, I went to Options, Privacy, and Show Cookies. There are probably 307 shown. When I click to Remove All Cookies nothing happens. When I highlight one cookie and click to Remove, nothing happens. When I open the particular cookie folder and see the cookie, highlight it and click Remove, that cookie seems to disappear for an instant, but when I click on the next one, the first one returns.

I want ALL evidences of all these cookies OFF my computer.

How do I accomplish that?

I would like to keep the google search as it is, in terms of using it as the search engine. I do not wish to change that. I would like to reset or clear the search results from the searchbar however on the startup page at about:home. Is that possible and how could I do this? Is it somethings I need to reset in the about.config file? I have already reset the mstone, setting and the results are still there. Thank you so much, for helping me with this issue.

I always run Firefox in private browsing mode. Normally I don't accept cookies, but turn on the 'Accept cookies from sites' when necessary. Until recently when I've selected 'Accept cookies from sites', cookies have shown up in the 'cookies list'. Now they don't. As far as I can tell, I'm not doing anything differently. Resetting Firefox makes no difference.

I get an error message about cookies and I don't know what to do next.

The page isn't redirecting properly

         Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

i have done everything listed here so many times and nothing is fixing this. Made sure cookies were enabled, cleared cache and cookies, made sure Gmail was approved in security settings, and then as a last ditch effort, I disabled all add-ons for Firefox and still no Gmail... I was so desperate that I even re-installed ff-19 and still cannot get into my email account. What is going on here? Any help or small nudge in the correct direction would be much appreciated!

This also happens in FF 18 - cookies that are supposed to be retained are not.

I tried the SQLite Database Browser tool, but found no questionable entries like the ones outlined above.

I tried deleting site preferences - no change. Tried deleting permission.sqlite. Still no change.

What this is showing up in is my online banking. It asks you to register the computer, and supposedly puts a "secure cookie" in the browser. This no longer works - everytime I have to go through the process of asking for a new code via email. This works fine in IE, and used to in Firefox. What is odder is that if I ask it to show cookies, it shows it with an expiration of Jan. 2100. But it does not seem to be accessble to FF anymore, while it used to be. Any other ideas?

I have been through many threads of similar questions and tried all of the suggestions that worked for everyone else. Google is still not allowing me to access Gmail because "cookies are disabled", even though they're definitely not. I have looked into exceptions, I have removed Google from the cookies list, I have done everything recommended.

I cannot access my email and will soon switch browsers if this is not resolved.

I choose Remember history in Privacy tab and Remember passwords for sites in Security tab in Options, but when I close Firefox, it doesn't remember my cookies and I have to do logins manually each time I open Firefox.

For about a month now, Firefox (18.0.2) has been randomly logging me out of sites that I WANT to remember me (e.g. Facebook, Amazon, sites with forums I visit daily for work). It is driving me bonkers and it did NOT used to do this.

It does seem more likely to log me out of these sites when I have watched a Flash video. Help please?

Firefox 18.0.2 on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

Hi,

I'm wondering how to keep cookies from certain website when Firefox closes, for example I'm spending some time on www.kongregate.com it's a website with flash games and as you may suspect I'd like to keep my progress from those games for future visits, however whenever I close Firefox it automatically deletes files from "C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\########\assets.kongregate.com\", that file has saves from games from kongregate and I want to keep that, anyway I'll post a list of my Privacy settings to help you help me achieve what I'm writing here about also "ON" means that box has check mark and "OFF" that it doesn't:

Tracking:

-Tell websites I do not want to be tracked - ON

History:

-Firefox will: Use custom settings for history

-Always use private browsing mode - OFF

-Remember my browsing and download history - OFF

-Remember search and form history - OFF

-Accept cookies from sites - ON (I've added www.kongregate.com as well as *www.kongregate.com* to exception list with "Allow" option)

-Accept third-party cookies - ON

-Keep until: I close Firefox

-Clear history when Firefox closes - ON

Location Bar:

-When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing

Options for "Clear history when Firefox closes

When I quit Firefox, it should automatically clear all:

History:

-Browsing History - ON

-Download History - ON

-Form & Search History - ON

-Cookies - ON (Corrected typo)

-Active Logins - OFF

-Cache - ON

Data:

-Saved Passwords - OFF

-Site Preferences - OFF

-DownThemAll! History & Queue - OFF (Not that this one matters)

-Offline Website Data - OFF

These are my current settings which I believe should allow me to keep cookies from kongregate while other cookies are being deleted, but if that is not the case please tell me which options should be set at what to allow me keep cookies from kongregate, if it is not possible to have that then please suggest me some extensions that would allow me to keep cookies from kongregate while deleting others.

Thanks in advance!

yesterday i added DoNotTrackPlus to my add-ons. along with it came malware: Coupon Companion. it has blasted my facebook accounts with ads. i tried to remove it from add-ons but am unable to see my add-ons to do that. i ran malware removal tools. it is still here. can you please help me. desperate. thanks.

It used to be in the previous version 16.0.2, that I'm now thinking of

going back to, that -:

Tools, options, exception was a place that I could list all the cookies

that I never wanted to see. I could find the cookies that I did not want

by opening "cookies" and by hand putting unwanted cookies sources into

"exceptions" and blocking them.

As a result I would, by default, allow only unblocked cookies for valid

sites to be on my system. I had a list about 200 sites long of unwanted

blocked cookies sources.

Then in 17.0.1 - bingo my exceptions list went bye bye and I was finding

valid userids appear on pages that I opened where I had not asked

17.0.1 to retain either password or userid.

Then I found (in 17.0.1) that even if I ticked the box to remove the cookies (aquired by the lack of being able to block then) when I closed 17.0.1 that the tick was cancelled by 17.0.1 and the cookies stayed.

What I want to have happen is a) have no history b) accept cookies c) create exceptions and block cookes with that "exception" list and not have that exception list deleted when I close 17.0.1 d) accept 3rd party cookises and keep them until I close 17.0.1 e) clear history but NOT the exceptions list that I spent time creating (and I don't know where they were/are stored).

What I see is no way to delete the cookies when I quit 17.0.1 because, if I tick the cookie box in "Settings" 17.0.1 clears the cookie tick when I close 17.0.1

Thanks

ffox 17 Win XP When i use the mouse wheel to scroll i want vertical scroll only. But it pops up a circle icon and won't scroll anywhere, or tries to go sideways and skids all over the place.

I would like to prevent the mousewheel from doing any horizontal scroll (and to never see that circle icon again). Is it possible?

p.s. I've seen the page "Gecko:Mouse Wheel Scrolling - MozillaWiki" and while it's very thorough, it's really written by/for developers, I just want a simple config entry fix ... please?

On the Privacy tab in Options the check box for Accept cookies from sites is unchecked. I pressed the Exceptions button and added many websites to accept cookies from and clicked Allow for Session on each one. Sometimes I go to a website where I have to sign in with a username and password and the site states that my browser is refusing to accept cookies even though I had added the site to the exception list. When I check the exception list, the status of the exception has changed from Allow for Session to Blocked. I have found several exceptions change on their own from allow to blocked and some even have changed again after I changed them back. What could be causing the exceptions to change and is there some way to make the settings persistent?

My bookmarks transferred over with no problems, But the only thing I'm missing now is my user names that did not get transferred over from Google Chrome. How can I fix this issue. Thank you
