Recently I find that the Google cookie notice keeps coming back. Cookies are enabled, although my settings are that these and history are deleted on closing Firefox.

This means I have to click the dismissal notice once in a new browsing session, which is OK, but am annoyed with the constant reappearance during the session.

I have the latest version of Firefox, and have tried reinstalling it to no avail.

Curiously there is no such problem with IE8, but I prefer Firefox for various reasons.

I have Windows XP.

Please see attached. I had to close Firefox to generate the cookie dimissal notice at the bottom of the screen, but as I said it keeps coming back even during the same browsing session.

OK but we are now entering areas way beyond my limited ability. I think I'll just have to put up with it until Google changes. Many thanks for your efforts though and best wishes,
