Firefox Support Forum

How do I clear Cookies and other junk from Firefox please? Sorry I am clueless with all this technology, a technosaur. I am 73 yrs old, never studied computers, maybe one day I'll find time, between fighting other battles with baddies...

I am trying to log into an internet backing website, https://www.lloydsbank.com/, and enter my username and password. I know that they are correct because I have changed my password today and saved it in the password manager. The website doesn't log me in, it says that I need to enable cookies. I accessed Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection and it is set to Standard, which should allow cookies. I retried using Help > Troubleshoot Mode which closes and reopens FireFox and I can then log into my bank without problems. I came out of FireFox and went back in, without Troubleshoot Mode and got the "enable cookies" error message again. Can anybody help?

I want to: - Delete cookies, logins and cache of all not specifically allowed websites when closing the browser - Automatically delete the browser history of anything thats older than 'n' days or entries - Preferably do this without having to use an addon

I have set places.history.expiration.max_pages, however even on a really low value it does not seem to delete any older items from the history.

For deleting cookies and cache I have a problem understanding how the 2 sections in the settings interact (Cookies and Site Data and History) and how I would manage to delete everything except the whitelisted cookies.

I currently have a setting checked telling Firefox to delete all cookies when closing. I want to set some exceptions but cannot uncheck that setting hence I cannot make the exceptions. So how can I make exceptions so as to save some cookies upon closing? Please be specific as I am not familiar with a lot of assumed firefox computer jargon. Thanks

Recently i've started having an issue where all of my browser history & cookies gets deleted when i close firefox. I know that is an existing setting but i have that turned off in all the places i can find. This has only started happening recently and the only thing that shows up in my history are my bookmarked tabs- like it shows each bookmarked tab as if i have gone and clicked each tab in my history and literally nothing else. I have been on my pc throughout the day and have searched many things yet upon closing all tabs & windows everything is deleted. I know this sounds like the opposite of an issue but i rely on my history a lot to help me go back to sites & helpful infomation.

Cannot open Spectrum.net, getting a message that reads:

The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to www.spectrum.net.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Have never had this problem before. Tried changing to allow set cookies instead of default but didn't work

Hello,

I am a developer and I am working on a project but it is next to impossible for me to share my staging server cookie on my localhost project which I am running locally. I have tried multiple possible ways which was listed on google and even on chatgpt but nothing is working out. Please help me out with this disaster.

Thank you for you support which I am expecting urgently.

Is AdBlock part of your system? I inquired about their ad and declined. Since then they have become an absolute "PEST" popping up in every thing I do. Your logo appears in their Ad.

If the browser privacy is supposed to block cross-site cookies, EVEN WITH enhanced tracking prevention and permanent browsing mode enabled, why doesn't it do its job? I still have to go in and revoke the cookie and place that address in the "exceptions - cookies & site data" to block and the same address STILL comes right back. If that feature isn't going to work, there's no point in offering it.

I love Firefox (use it on all devices), but unless an option will actually do what it's supposed to do, don't offer it.

Hi, I have been working on a old project for one of my clients and found an issue. The firefox version i am using is 95.0.1 64bit version. After signing in, inside response headers from the server i am getting

set-cookie MYSESSION=eyJ***** HttpOnly

which is then used on next request i make to the server as Cookie MYSESSION=eyJhb***

But after upgrading my firefox version, although i am able to see the response header sent back from server, but it is not being sent in request header for the next api call.

Also this issue is only for localhost, works fine in production https urls

I would like to know what has changed in new version in terms of handling the response headers, thanks!

Should I be concerned? getting many, over 20, safeframe.googlesyndication cookies on firefox using yahoo and weatherunderground. I delete them and they come right back. Only on new laptop win11 v22H2. Firefox ver 111.0.1 This is a new laptop. I do not have these cookies on 3 other laptops, 2 windows 10, 1 win 11 also new. I see these cookies on CCleaner

my bank says that the latest firefox is blocking my access. it works ok with other browsers and used to work with firefox. do i change banks or change browsers? is firefox going to "fix" this?
