Just added latest cookie control offered by firefox and I want to get rid of it because it conflicts with other security on computer. How do I do this?

Tried to use my email address as user name and I was amazed by the response, presumably because it has the word "v i r g i n" in it. I did not intend to insult anyone it is my email address!

I'm forced to log in time and time again for certain sites. While on others I stay logged in as long as I dont deleted my cookies. I've got "Tell websites I dont want ot be tracked" unchecked and AdBlockPlus installed.

I have "accept cookies from sites" and "ask me every time" set on FF 20. When I navigate to certain sites, I select "deny" cookies and "use my choice for every cookie", yet I am presented with multiple queries asking me if I want to accept cookies for the site. Apple.com, for instance, just asked me 30 times if I wanted to accept cookies from the site, even though I marked "use my choice for every cookie."

Sometimes FF freezes up and I have to force quit it to deal with the onslaught. This has been a problem for years now, and is very frustrating. Is someone working on fixing it?

Open pages spontaneously change to random advertising sites. happens a lot to yahoo home page. does not appear to happen in IE10 or chrome. also there is a pop-up box showing up at the bottom of some pages asking if I want to go to some ad on the page.

Hi I was just wondering if the gov can see what websites I visit. I apply for work Visas sometimes and I wonder if they can easily access my web info? Can you explain for me ? :)

Windows Vista Home Premium. I've gone through all the items for fixing cookie problems including deleting cookies, cleaning all temp files, uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox 20 (twice). Cookies appear to store, but are deleted when I leave the site. Cookie settings are selected to store. Google Chrome browser works OK, but IE9 has a similar problem.

It's in color and constantly moving within its' frame. The ad is dead centered on the screen. Once I continue on to another site from Firefox the ad is gone. It's specific to Firefox. It's not logical that you've done this to torment your users. You're a non-profit. I will have to, very reluctantly, remove Firefox from my computer, though, regardless. How did Groupon worm its way onto my screen? The coincidence is that several days ago I unsubscribed from receiving Groupon's offers/ads. Could this be revenge? There's a meanness apparent here. Thank you for your attention and quick resolution. Allen R. Piper

Browsing history in Firefox goes back to the latest 3 months. Since I lost some data, I need to go further back in time. I find help pages mentioning that firefox keeps browser history and buffer or cache and how to clear them, but not how to find it.

i want to open my gmail account but page gie a error. the error is this We've detected a problem with your cookie settings.

Enable cookies Make sure your cookies are enabled. To enable cookies, follow these browser-specific instructions.

Clear cache and cookies If you have cookies enabled but are still having trouble, clear your browser's cache and cookies.

Adjust your privacy settings If clearing your cache and cookies doesn't resolve the problem, try adjusting your browser's privacy settings. If your settings are on high, manually add www.google.com to your list of allowed sites.

My facebook games are cut off at the bottom. I refreshed, restarted my laptop and I have cleared cache, Cookies, and history. I thought I would try to use google chrome which I hate and it did the same thing so I know its gotta be something wrong with my global settings. I went to internet explore and it did the same thing and I allowed blocked content and when It reloaded it showed the entire page. I have ended all my open sessions in facebook Ive almost tried everything. I even turned off my firewall to see if it would do something then and then it was the same problem. Please I love firefox I absolutely refuse to use another browser they just dont stack up against firefox please help.

Every time I enable cookies (set it to custom enable) and I press ok, it didnt change. I go back into options and the information didnt change. I thought that the plugins had something to do with this so I tried browsing in the same site with all of the plugins disabled but that didnt work. Every time I press ok to change the cookies information, it just goes back to default whenever i go back into the options menu.

ive tried to delete my cache and cookies, restart firefox / cp , unchecked third party cookies, custom cookie setting with allow cookies from sites, deleted corrupted files so what can it be?

also ive tried enabling cookies on other browsers but its the same problem.

I have the privacy option set to "Remember History" but no cookies are ever remembered. This occurs with all sites that use cookies. I am running Windows XP SP3. This problem has been there for a long time on various Firefox updates. I'm stuck with IE 8 for my bank and others that require cookies.

Using Firefox 19.0.2 (Windows XP SP3).

Is there some way to allow Firefox to show ONLY a list of current session cookies while in private browsing mode, rather than a list of the normal cookies?

First of all, basic cookie handling appears to be working fine for me, in both normal mode and in private browsing: Cookies set during private browsing are deleted as expected when exiting Firefox or when toggling back to normal browsing.

HOWEVER...

I am unable to SEE the new cookies that are added during a private browsing session.

If I start Firefox normally, toggle to private browsing mode, and then go to Options> Show Cookies, the window opens showing a long list of my "normal" cookies.

Previously, the cookies window would appear to be EMPTY when starting a private browsing session. After browsing a while, and then rechecking the list I would see only the cookies set during that private browsing session.

NOW, during a private browsing session, when I recheck the cookies list I see only my normal cookies, and NONE of the new session cookies appear in the list (the same cookies are shown as before switching to private mode).

I have tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode, with no change in behavior. I have also tried disabling add-ons, with no change.

List of add-ons installed:

Adblock Pluss 2.2.3 BetterPrivacy 1.6.8 Ghostery 2.9.3 Googlebar Lite 4.9.7 IE View 1.5.6 Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.3.1 PrivacyChoice TrackerBlock 2.2 Status-4-Evar 2013.02.16.23 Bookmark Favicon Changer 1.74 (disabled) CheckPlaces 2.6.2 (disabled)

Suggestions?

Thanks!

The cleanup did not affect my bookmarks, they are all there. History however seems to be gone forever, a reference list that I took months to set up and that means an equally long setback to an editorial project. Weep, hair tearing, ashes all over my torn off clothes will not, apparently, restore that history. Booahhh! Tell me there is some home, please.
