Firefox Community Forum

I am using Firefox (156.01) on a MacBook Pro (2023, M2 Mac Pro, Tahoe 26.7).

In Privacy and Security settings, I have checked the box to clear history and site data on closing. History is clearing, but site data is not. I can manually clear history and site data by going to the settings when I reopen it.

I noticed this issue about two weeks ago (not sure when it started). I have closed Firefox multiple times, restarted my computer multiple times, even updated my OS during this time, but the problem is consistent.

If I go to Clear Data for Specific Sites, I am also noticing that cache size is considerably higher than the sites listed (e.g., it might list 4 sites with a total of like 2MB but the cache size might be 30MB).

Do you have any suggestions for what might be happening and what fixes I might try?

For some reason, everytime i close firefox, every website just forgets that ive been on their website before and needs me to sign-in again, even when ive clicked "keep me signed in"

Running 154.0.1 on MacOS 26.6.1. Sometimes firefox stops working and I think I'm having an internet issue. No page able to load, not even a google search. I see the cache is full at 1gb and I clear cache for the last hour. Browser starts working again. To me, the problem doesn't seem like not enough cache capacity but the browser refusing to evict old, stale cache. How do I fix this other than manually clearing the cache? This seems like a bug that should be fixed.

I cannot get into my online accounts, as I have always done for years. After I select the site, the screen looks like it is working, but then a new empty window pops up: the tab says "citi 400 Bad Request" At the top of the empty screen it says: Bad Request. Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

It seems that after a recent Firefox version update (perhaps to 151.0.3), the "Clear cookies and site data" option is disabled for any container tab. This is really annoying as I like to use this feature often.
