At the end of each day I select "history" and "delete recent history." Then I click the "today" tab and execute the delete (I keep a small number of older cookies because I want them there, but I want everything added today to go away). But not all of the cookies from today's activity are being deleted. Why is this? How can I fix it? (I am using Firefox 71.0 on Windows 10. My only plug-in is U-Block.)

No push notifications despite all possible options on

I'm someone that relies on my in-browser push notifications when it comes to Twitter, Facebook, Discord, and YouTube. For the past 24ish hours or so, the only ones I've been getting have been "[x] commented on your status" from Facebook but somehow not the ones from Messenger. Outside of that, I haven't been getting ANY. The only way I've gotten any was to enable Firefox from the Windows 10 Action Center as dictated here: https://www.askvg.com/tip-enable-disable-mozilla-firefox-notifications-to-show-in-windows-10-action-center/
The main thing is I don't want to deal with this. I have bad anxiety and getting pinged with noise each time I get a notification just makes me freak out. I need the silent in-browser notifications, not the noisy Windows 10 Action Center ones. I've included screenshots of my about:config page with (what I think is) everything related to push notifications (I just searched "push") as well as my notifications options in the Options menu. (I disabled the facebook notifs under options because I'm part of a group chat and the constant pinging from the Win10 Action Center would make me go crazy from the anxiety).
I also 100% cleared my cookies and cache earlier to see if that would help and it didn't do anything other than log me out of everything.

Firefox 71 seems to now auto fill in a password on a site I never had happen before update to FF 71. I've gone to saved passwords and it's "not listed there" I also checked exceptions and my surprise "it is listed" as an exception but keeps filling it in anyway. Seems nothing I do will stop it.

I have a master password set and this works as expected. However, if I start a private window after inputting the password in the normal window, all the usernames (not passwords) are visible in the private window. This looks like a breach of privacy? I would have expected that a new private window would have to request the master password to be re-entered. Is this by design?

Some of the sites I visit allow me to format text with control characters (eg ctrl-b to bold the text). However, Firefox interrupts the control characters and opens the bookmark sidebar instead. How can I override this shortcut (and, perhaps, almost every shortcut)? Thank you, Ben

My Windows 10 taskbar is set to auto-hide. For some reason, with Firefox on my laptop (but not on my desktop computer), Firefox will not allow the taskbar to pop up. I have searched for multiple solutions, and attempted:
- Restarting with add-ons disabled. - Closing the browser and then renaming xulstore.json before restarting.
The only solution that has worked temporarily is going into full-screen mode then exiting it, but again, it is only temporary, as either minimizing the window or leaving maximized mode will cause the problem to reoccur when the window is maximized again.

Ever since the most recent Windows build I've been unable to remove links from the pulldown url window. In the past I could just right click on a link and there would be a menu of options, once of which was to remove the URL. On reopening the pulldown menu, a new link would take its place. Now, nothing. No option to delete links. How do I do this? I have searched and searched to no avail.

Hey y'all,
does anyone know a possibility to sync deeper, more advanced settings via the Firefox account? For example I'm using network.proxy.autoconfig_url, which is not synced to other machines. I already tried the services.sync.prefs.dangerously_allow_arbitrary setting, but it still won't sync.
Thanks in advance! Juergen

Setting Firefox to run as admin through compatibility settings causes what seems like infinite prompts to run as admin, and basically never opens. The only solution I have to being able to open Firefox as admin is to do it manually, whereas before I haven't had this problem to the same degree. Occasionally before this infinite series of prompts, it would sometimes prompt me 3 times before opening Firefox as admin while having "Run as Admin" enabled under compatibility settings.
Not sure why this is happening, or why it's getting worse, reinstalling did not fix this issue either. So whatever is happening, I thought I'd just report it here to see if anyone else is experiencing something similar to this.

EU has the pesky "Cookie Law". In order to get rid of the banner asking for permission to install cookies, permission to install must be granted. Will Firefox continue to block (chosen) cookies even after I formally give a website permission to install cookies and so forth? If the answer is 'yes', I will have to manually deselect the most invasive cookies. This would be a major nuisance. I imagine that the answer is 'no' - because, why would Firefox allow cookies based on a request from a website? Meanwhile, I can't find an answer. Thanks!

I've been using Firefox for many months and rarely had issues with this, but I've been unable to open documents from SharePoint to the MSFT apps on my computer for the last two weeks. When I have a SharePoint link that I need to open, one of two things happens: - if I right-click on the link and select "open in Word" (or whatever MS product I need), I get the following error message: "Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (ms-word) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context. You might need to install other software to open this address"
- If I open the document in the browser and then select "Open in app," it indicates that the app has been opened but nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
