Firefox Community Forum

Trying to add my yahoo email account to Gmail. Keep getting message Must enable cookies on browser for yahoo account.

Have tried Firefox process shown in past posts. Keep getting redirected to same page on how to enable cookies.

Screenshots shown on earlier posts by “Jon…” not legible.

Thanks for your help!!

I prefer all my login accounts to log out when I close Firefox. All of my settings are set up to do so, nothing changed, yet suddenly for the last week or so, it has simply stopped logging me out. Every day when I log in, there everything is again. I keep rechecking all my settings, even turning them back off and on, and nothing is fixing this. What's going on?

I asked this same question in Reddit and got a reply to uncheck "delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed", close all Firefox windows, and reopen them, and this did not correct the problem. Please advise.

Hello, I'm writing here since I lost hope in Microsoft's support. I've seen some other people having the same issue from like July, this problem however started with me around the end of August. Every time I try to log into my hotmail I get the screen attached. The only way to get around it is to delete the cookies/cache related to Live.com and try again. Also, right now, I have to "sign out" from my email to avoid saving cookies or cache related to my login information - otherwise, I will have to do the process again (of deleting the cache/cookies). The thing is, I've always used Firefox to check my hotmail, and I wouldn't log out of my hotmail and check back in quickly any time I want to - the process now is getting sluggish. I've contacted Microsoft (or let's just say, tried to) but I kept going in loops and never got an answer. So I'm here in hope I get any ideas (and I have a feeling that it is something from Microsoft's side and not from Firefox side because the problem occurred suddenly and not after a specific update to Firefox).

Thanks

Hello. I've got a simple suggestion.

When we go to "manage data" in settings. We can only remove a particular cookie, or all cookies from websites. I would love for there to be a block feature there.

The only way to do so now is by going to "manage exceptions" and typing out the URL manually. I'm finding certain URLs becoming more and more tedious to type out. I feel this would really help. Perhaps they could merge "manage data" and "manage exceptions" together and just put all the features in one place.

We've got all kinds of great extensions that can cut down on the annoying cookies and pop ups but I still feel this would be helpful.

I tried to reach the following adress: https://www.itu.int/harmful-interference-to-rnss/ and I received this message on my browser: 400 Bad Request -Request Header Or Cookie Too Large

When I tried from a different browser it was accessible.

Using a different laptop. When accessing site, continually need to verify its me even after I select "remember this device" or other confirmation request. I do have enhanced security which is not the problem. Is this something to do with Firefox settings or is the inability to retain information at the site location.
