I have used https://www.abine.com/dntdetail.php for over a year and it works well. Firefox's blocking relies on the good will of companies to comply with your request.

Until Firefix activate a fully effective user generated blocking of all the cr*p that we are sent (and pay for) I want to use the above website - however, it has been blocked.

About one year back, I saved a webpage as webpage complete, that is, as a HTML file and a folder containing associated files. Recently I added mozilla archive format add-on. I revisited the webpage and it has changed a little bit, for example the picture in the heading and another picture in the body of the page. Now I saved this changed webpage as a single file, in MHT format. Now when I am opening the MHT file it is showing the previous version of the webpage, and at the top it is showing 'saved from: file:///G:/Document/Religion/filename'. When I move the file in another drive or folder firefox opens the changed version of the webpage and at the top 'Saved from: http://mukto-mona.com/bangla_blog/?p=28719, that is url of the webpage. When I move the file in G it again shows the old version. One word more, I downloaded all files and temporarily saved them in C drive. Later I moved them elsewhere. As you can see this above file I saved in G drive. I tried clearing cookies and histories of firefox and browsing history in Windows internet options. Problem is not going. I do not know whether it is a cookie problem, but I placed the question here.

Though I mentioned about a single saved file just for instance, actually the problem showing for several files. Thanks in advance.

Firefox 20's built-in cookie viewer has a window of a limited (small) and unadjustable size. This is not convenient for browsing countless cookies (it's actually not practical). Is there a way to view the list in a window of adjustable size? I would like to maximize the viewing window.

I have the "Tell websites I do not want to be tracked" checked (had this before as well). But before, I was still able to see the cookies from every site I've been too. Now only google's cookies show up even though I've been to other sites and able to log in to them

I cannot log into my gmail or facebook account, because it says: cookies are disabled, enable cookies to continue. I tried changing my settings in Firefox - Options - Settings - Privacy - Use custom settings. I did exactly what I was advised in the Firefox Help online, enabled everything, then clicked OK. Didnt work. Tried it again and I only found that the settings (custom settings - enabled everything) were not even saved. I am not able to save these custom settings any way, it never saves them no matter how many times I try and click ok, I come back to the setting to find that they are not there. So I tried clearing all the cookies and cache in history (also found this online in firefox support site), guess what? DIDNT WORK. I am starting to be a little bit pissed off as I cannot log into my gmail or facebook account for over two weeks now! Any time I need to check e-mails I have to use someones laptop.

I am hoping someone can help... I am having problems logging into some websites. I enter my log-in details, but instead of being allowed into the website, I get looped back to the welcome screen. If I try logging on again, the same thing happens. It isn't every website, for example Facebook and Twitter work ok. But Ancestry.com and Ancestry.co.uk don't work. Have never had this problem before (am a long time user of Firefox on Macs) but this issue started around 10 days ago (can remember browsing Ancestry on 1st December, but not since).

I've tried all the suggestions on the site I can find - deleted cookies, cleared my cache, deleted browsing history, re-installed Firefox and Shockwave. Nothing works. Am now totally stumped. Any suggestions as to how I can get Firefox and Ancestry to work together again.

All my plugins are up-to-date. I have removed almost all add-ons. JavaApplet and Shockwave plugins are installed and enabled.

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 have the most recent version of Firefox. – I have my settings in Preferences -> Privacy on "Keep third party cookies until I close Firefox". – I've checked "Clear history when Firefox closes" and have ticked every single box under settings (except saved passwords). – But still, Cookies do not get deleted when I close Firefox – there are hundreds of cookies every time I open it. – If I go to Tools -> Clear recent history, choose "everything" and tick every single box, history etc. get deleted but the cookies remain. – If I go to Preferences -> Privacy and click "Show Cookies" and then click "Remove all cookies" twice, the cookies disappear, but they're back just seconds later. – I've even tried going to Preferences, clicking on Exceptions and manually adding some of the websites that showed up under "show cookies" and blocking them and then deleting the cookies, but still they re-appeared within seconds, and the exceptions were blank again. – I've checked all your support pages about this topic. – I've seen this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/740598?esab=a&as=aaq and tried it and it didn't help. – I've seen this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/936308?esab=a&as=aaq and this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/868910?esab=a&as=aaq, and yes I do use "Do Not Track Plus" and some of the Cookies seem to be Opt-Out-Cookies but most are not.

Please help me. I used to be a big fan of Firefox but this is getting really scary.

i'm looking for the cookie exception list that seems to have moved in later versions. I'm having trouble with Facebook and yahoo mail in that Firefox is showing those sites in frames. If I reset Firefox it works fine, but I am tiring of resetting it twice a day to read my email. It was suggested to add these sites to the cookies exception list - except that it's not where it used to be.

I am working on a php app and spent hours scouring through code because when I log off the site it should set the cookies to expire an hour ago. Then when you log in it should create new cookies of course. So when I logged off one account and into another it was pulling up cookies that should have expired and changing account information for another account because of this. Tried to recreate the same problem in chrome doesn't happen only in fire fox. Any ideas?

So after this new stupid youtube update, it for whatever reason logged me out of my gmail and my youtube accounts, even though i have it set to always have me logged in. when i type in the correct e-mail and password, it redirects me to a page that says "Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on." So, i came here for help to see if there was a problem, and there was (yay google) and i followed the steps to every solution that i could find. Unfortunately, none of them worked in the slightest, and im stuck out from my e-mail. i can access my youtube and gmail perfectly fine at school, but when i come home it seems to. yes, i already opened up the firefox > options > privacy and did all of that. i deleted all my cookies, enabled 3rd party cookies and disabled it multiple times to see if it would fix anything. sadly to no avail. Now that none of that worked, i come here asking for help one last time :( if anyone has a solution to this, it would be greatly appreciated. preferably something that hasnt been repeated in other posts about this, because ive probably already read it :\

I keep getting informed by Google+ that I need to enable cookies to log in, but I HAVE cookies enabled in all browsers. I checked my Firefox folder, but could not find a profile folder anywhere to check if cookies.sqlt was corrupted. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO RESET FIREFOX TO ITS DEFAULT SETTINGS AND AFFIRM THAT COOKIES ARE ENABLED BEFORE GOOGLE WILL ACCEPT THIS???? This problem just started today, and has never been an issue before, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to contact Google about any form of technical support, and the few methods available require you to log into your account!!
