I would like firefox to be linked with face book, It's one of my daily sites, but since I made FireFox my default browser I have to sign in to face book evrytime I open it. They require cookies so change it please.

I saw a very confident by a 'support volunteer' that the interface contains controls to delete traces.

Show me in the in interface where these files can be deleted:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0NB2KS6j.Profile 1\cache2\entries

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0NB2KS6j.Profile 1\safebrowsing

Some very bold claims that I don't see backed up by anything having to do with reality.

Hello,

It seems that Firefox has lost the ability to clear cookies on exit without also clearing history. This affects the current version, 153, but I started observing it a few versions back, maybe around 148.

In Settings -> Privacy and Security, if I select "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox", this automatically enables "Clear history when Firefox closes". If I unselect the latter, the former also becomes unselected.

I would like to clear site cookies and data whenever I close Firefox, but not browsing history. I'm sure this used to be possible in the past. Is it an intended change that this is no longer possible, or is it a mistake?

Thank you.

you have to delete over 5 times to get history and cookies to clear. Selecting "everything" never removes everything :( Used to be the best for privacy now its seemingly deceptive..

Before closing Firefox, I go to: Privacy and Security, Clear data for specific sites, remove the sites I don't want. Then I go to Clear Browsing Data and check two boxes: clear Browsing and download history and Temporary cached files.

In spite of that, I see 50 - 100 MB in Google. I don't want that.

Therefore, I went to the Manage Exceptions list and added all the sites that I want to keep cookies and site data. I checked Save Changes. (Google is included in that list.)

However, if I return to Clear Browsing Data & Cookies, check Cookies & Site Data, then Clear, Firefox deletes all the sites stored in Managed Exceptions, too. It's not supposed to do that.

Questions: 1. How do I prevent that from happening? 2. Should I remove Google from Managed Exceptions list?

Please advise. Collis

I always delete ALL browsing data every time after using the internet. However, when I next go to use it there is a whole load more kB under "temporary cached files and pages". This usually happens overnight, but has also happened in the daytime. Why would this be? Does it mean someone has gained access to my laptop? Now more concerned as have had fraudulent use of my bank card today.

Non-technical language answers please!
