Firefox Community Forum

A website I have been using had allowed you to reject any other cookies besides operational cookies. Now they want you to accept all cookies or the accept cookie banner won't be removed from the website. The site no longer gives you any options. I understand that the operational cookies need to remain but is there a way to delete the specific advertising and 3rd party cookies for this site.

Hi,

If i understand correctly, firefox has total cookie protection enabled by default i.e. cookies are not shared among sites. I can see partition key is being set for the cookies which helps in maintaining cookie jars.

I am just curious to know if these cookie jars exist for firefox extensions also? For example, from a specific add-on if a certain cookie is set for demo.com then i dont see any partition key associated with it. Does this violate total cookie protection? And is this a bug or a special feature that firefox extensions can utilize?

I can't sign into Google on Firefox. Every time I try, I get this message:

We've detected a problem with your cookie settings. Enable cookies

Make sure your cookies are enabled. To enable cookies, follow these browser-specific instructions. Clear cache and cookies

If you have cookies enabled but are still having trouble, clear your browser's cache and cookies. Adjust your privacy settings

If clearing your cache and cookies doesn't resolve the problem, try adjusting your browser's privacy settings. If your settings are on high, manually add www.google.com to your list of allowed sites. Learn more

I've followed all the instructions, even deleted and re-installed Firefox, but the same thing keeps happening. How do I fix this?

The bank for our online HOA accounts wants me to allow "third party cookies". How do I allow that on my MacBook Pro?

Also, the videos that are implanted in news articles on msn.com won't load and play. How do I allow them to load so I can view them?

Thank you.

Hi Team,

I'm currently having an issue with the above:

Every time I clear everything (cookies, data, cache etc), close Firefox then immediately open it again additional data appears. This never used to happen before. Why is this? For example, just before sending this message it stated 0 bytes. When closing and opening F. again there were 76 bytes. Earlier today, after the same procedure there were 315 bytes of data! So Firefox is not clearing data as it used to. I use Norton AntiVirus and Nord VPN and have just done a disc clean-up but there is still the same problem when they are turned off. Where is this data coming from if I am not using any programs, the internet, nothing; only opening Firefox? Please advise as I suspect there may be hackers sniffing around my computer. I have changed the Browser Privacy to Strict.

Nord VPN also has a security option like Firefox. Is it okay to keep both on simultaneously or will they conflict? What is the best option out of the two if you recommend using only one?

I look forward to your assistance.

Thanks,

BA

I look at porn on my Android phone. I use Private Browsing to do so. Why are my Private Browsing addresses appearing as Firefox Suggest results that appear outside of Private Browsing as well? And why does Pornhub show me a personalized home page when I'm using Private Browsing? None of these pages are in my browser history because I've only accessed them via Private Browsing. But these "features" sort of defeat the purpose of it don't you think?

I've just switched from Chrome to Firefox and never had this issue with Chrome.

I can't find a place to control third party cookies in the Security section. I used to be able to donate on my church's website but now it doesn't work. I tried doing it with Microsoft Edge and it worked fine. I hate to erase all my history and cookies because it takes away log-in info on my regular websites. Any ideas? Thanks for your help Terri

I cannot figure this out, it was working around 10 minutes ago and now it's not. I use canvas for school and within that is Kaltura, used for uploading and recording lectures etc. I'm now being hit with the "It seems your browser is blocking 3rd party session cookies which are required for the Kaltura application. To resolve this issue, please update your settings to allow 3rd party cookies." and nothing I do seems to fix it. My settings are set to standard, didn't work. I tried to allow an exception but since it's embedded within the school canvas, I don't know how to get the Kaltura URL and the normal canvas url doesn't bypass it. I've went to the about:config and messed around with that based on other support posts, but that didn't work either. I went into the cookie setting and set it to custom and just unchecked the cookies, but that still didn't work. I'm at a complete loss and I need some help.

Tried to buy tickets at Red Rocks via AXS website. After clearing the waiting room and entering the presale code, i get the message "Sorry, Your Session Expired". I had only been connected for < 5mins. I closed browser, tried again and same error.

I have been using firefox for years. I have made no changes to settings. I got a blue screen yesterday and after that firefox keeps logging me off of everything I close it. I have tried about:preferences#privacy then going to History and clear history when firefox closes and only selecting cache. Does not work. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox twice but i think it does not delete everyhing. I still have access to history after the reinstall.
