Now the browser version Firefox Quantum Extended Support Release 68.4.1esr (32-bit) for Alt Linux is installed on my computer. Upon request by the POST method in the specified browser from the Apache server on the same computer loads a static web page with the following META tag in its header: <META HTTP-EQUIV="Set-Cookie" CONTENT="name=password; PATH=/"> After that, cookies must be created in the browser. Really they are created - in other browsers (Chrome and Opera), but for some reason they ceased to be created in the Firefox browser. What is the reason for this and is it possible to resume and track their creation in Firefox? I would be grateful for any answer on this question.

Hi vadval15, it has become customary to set cookies using HTTP headers (or JavaScript) rather than meta tags. As of Firefox 68, you can no longer use the meta tags. See:

Thank you for the answer. I'm sorry, but I have a different menu in the Firefox browser. In my menu, the site has permission to create cookies, but for some reason it cannot create them.

Thank you for your advice, but Firefox already has permission to accept cookies from my site, nevertheless they are not accepted anyway.
