Firefox Support Forum

i can't find the name of the new cookie/tracker form moizilla i enabled last week, immediately going to utube (never logged ln to utube) it's obvious utube is no longer tailoring channels to my history. (but for years i've used firefox with its previous built in cookie/tracking enable. i also always have active Ghostery on full block).

i want to lower blocking for utube only, not remove because previous firefox before the "new" cooking/tracker utube did somehow store what type of channels to suggest. does utube use a cookie or a tracker to store channels to suggest? (note i do NOT login to utube, it's saving/storing my type of channels liked by other means than user account).

USA is nuts into fascism! of course americans don't want corporations recording our personal internet history then selling it to other corporations. to try to stop it citizens have to beg around mozilla, ghostery for complicated settings. even many of the help apps like ghostery r default to send them data, u have to hound around details in their preferences to disable them getting our history. citizens should have to be doing this to protect ourselves from corporations!

(ps. i upload my avatar, i see it on some pages, this page it's back to a B circle. i've uploaded successful 3 times yet it keeps disappearing).

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?

I keep getting this message for just one site The page isn’t redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection to www.paperbackswap.com. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

I have all 3 versions of the address for this site as allowed for cookies I have several sites open in tabs - all others open fine except this. Sometimes this happens at startup and sometimes just with a page refresh Sometimes I have to wait hours & keep retrying, sometimes shutting the system and restarting multiple times will bring it up. This is definitely a firefox problem because I can go to chrome and it opens fine Can you help figure out why this doesn't work?

When I try to log into my website - https://huppbrian.us/tsc-admin - with Firefox Developer 111.0b8 (64-bit), get the following error first time every time... Error: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies to use WordPress. If I try again without making any changes, I'm able to log in fine. I've tried playing with the protections settings, but haven't found the magic pill to fix this yet.

When I fill in a form with name, address, etc..., Firefox automatically fills in everything correctly except for my email address. Where can I change Firefox (version 111) to use the correct email address? Thanks, Dan

I want to check which sites have enabled cookies. I have done this before but now if I click the firefox logo top left all I get is firefox view. I can't see a Tools button or a Menu button. Is this because I am still using Windows 8.1? I know I shouldn't be but there is no chance of a n upgrade at the moment.

I like having cookies because I can stay logged into websites and it improves functionality. Unfortunately, during a tech support call awhile ago, they did something, and now my cookies seem to be disappearing once a month. I was just on Apple tech support for another issue, but they said they don't know anything about it. Is there something I can do through Firefox, or do I need to bug Apple again? It's possible that it was the Microsoft/Teams tech support. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. I want to keep my cookies.

Please help me understand why there is a feature to have cookies be made exceptions from deletion and then when someone elects to delete all data, cookies, and browsing data on exit....the EXCEPTION list of cookies also gets deleted.

I was on my laptop browsing the web then I closed Firefox to go have dinner then I came back opened it all of my cookies are gone every time I opened Firefox again I got logged out of everything but in the settings the every website was listed in the cookies but it reset every time I reopened Firefox and the delete cookies after closing web browser was unchecked after a minute or so all of my logins are gone and I am helpless

System: Ubuntu Version : 110.1

I don't know whether the issue is related to cookies or not but one thing i am about is this browser is trash. Just some Microsoft engineers might find it better for development, i don't. My live server is immediately reflecting changes to my port 500 yet the browser is not. i have to manually refresh the page in order to see the changes, i have tried using about:config and network.http.use-cache and set the value to false, cleared all cookies and data several times to ensure the browser is not caching the old version of the page, but nothing works. i am done with this frustration. I am going to uninstall this legendary developer friendly piece of shit if you can't help me out here cause i can't bear to keep my fingers on ctrl+R every single moment in my life would rather press the uninstall button. the only reason i am keeping this browser is because some legendary developers suggest it . I have set the cookies and trackers block mode to standard. Now i don't know what is the issue, i might have wasted my data on downloading this browser but i won't hesitate to remove it from my computer. Hope you can understand frustration of a beginner developer, done with code already, now the browsers are screwing me as well.

Hi, I'm running Firefox 110.0.1 on a linux machine and since installing cookie autodelete I have noticed that the web site yts.mx keeps reseting its cookie, a PHPSession cookie, even though I only visited the site once and that was a week ago. Also a few minutes after starting firefox yts.mx shows up on the about:network#http page of firefox and I'm guessing this is when the cookie gets set.

I can't find any information about about:network#http but there seem to be a lot of web sites listed that I don't visit. What does this page display?

I have tried removing all entries referencing yts.mx in my history. I have searched all non binary files in my profile directory for any reference to yts.mx. The only one thats comes up is in a file called AlternativeServices.txt and I have deleted the reference in that file numerous times and it keeps coming back.

I have also tried deleting the startup cache.

Any ideas apart from resetting firefox to stop this site from setting cookies when I haven't visited it?

Thanks.

I recently switched over to using an SSD, and I am trying to do everything I can to prevent unnecessary writing to that drive. I've already found instructions for moving the location of Firefox's Cache files to my secondary HDD, but I haven't been able to do the same for Cookies; they're still being stored on my C: drive, in the AppData folder.

Is it possible to change the path that Firefox uses to store Cookies? If it is possible, how?

Despite have used Firefox for many years, I am still not completely clear on why there are two separate areas for cookie settings, and how everything works together. In Cookies and Site Data: I check Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed. In Manage Exceptions, the listed domains I choose will not be deleted, but all other domains will. Correct? In History: I uncheck Always use private browsing mode, and I check Clear History when Firefox closes. In the Clear Recent History box, I uncheck Cookies and Site Settings. Question: Will be above choices in both areas get me where I want to be, which is retaining cookies for chosen protected sites, while deleting cookies for all others whenever Firefox is closed? If this is where a lot of people want to be, why are these choices presented in such a complicated way? If relevant, under Enhanced Tracking Protection I choose Custom, and leave all the boxes checked. The sites I choose to use seem to perform well with this option. Is this Security & Privacy area in Settings in need of reworking for ease and clarity?

Under privacy tab... I choose to "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" I also set exemptions to this requirement. When the new load 110.0.1 was loaded the exemptions were deleted. Every time I try to assign this option I find that after I sign out they are erased again. Since I have not changed settings in a long time... is this a known problem?

Hi, everyone,

Since the last update on 17.02 Firefox keeps deleting my cookies which removes the active logins. Strangely enough the history is remaining. 3-4 days ago I logged again in every platform I use and today all cookies were gone. I have already checked my settings but all seems fine.

The used plan is Standard, for History I switched from Remember history to Custom, marking both Remember browsing and download history and Remember search and form history with Clear history when Firefox closes unchecked but to no avail.

There are no crashes and no other anomalies, the only extension I am using is Adblock plus. I reset the browser, installed the Adblock and check the settings again. I also logged in Google on my Edge as well and it keeps its login.

Can you please help?
