When I click on Privacy & Settings and then Cookies and Site Data and select Clear Browsing Data and the select everything. It does not seem to clear the cache when I select Clear

This is what shows up: Your stored cookies, history, site data, and cache are currently using 108 MB of disk space.

I had expected it to be close to zero.

What's the scoop?

I have websites I frequent like Youtube and my email set to 'remember me' so I don't log back in every time I open Firefox. Recently, for some reason, whenever I close Firefox I am logged out of everything, and if I open it again I have to log back in to all the services I use.

Settings I think may be relevant to this issue:

  • Enhanced tracking protection is set to standard
  • "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is set to false
  • "Remember browsing and download history" is set to true
  • "Remember search and form history" is set to true
  • "Clear history when Firefox closes" is set to false

I have not changed my account settings at all, and this problem has only cropped up in the past few days, leading me to believe it could be something to do with a new update? I'm no expert though, I just know this is driving me mad.

Firefox Problem Deleted Cookies for All Sites

Well at least I think it did. Facebook has an issue with scrolling through the feed in my group. I don't know whether there's also a problem on the home feed and also one's timeline. The further one goes back, the more sluggish it becomes and it takes longer to display posts. I'm not sure whether this is a browser issue as I haven't tested on other browsers, or a problem with Facebook pulling stuff out of the drawers in its archives. Maybe it's a memory issue due to all posts needing to be loaded in memory so it's possible to go back up through the feed to the newest one. Anyway, it gets to the stage after going back through hundreds of posts over 6 months, FB stalls. So I tried clearing my history (I have this set to not clear cookies). I then closed FB and Firefox. When I started Firefox again, I had to agree to cookies and sign into all my social media accounts, Google accounts and also agree to cookies on sites I visit regularly. So obviously a glitch in the browser, causing many, if not all cookies to be deleted.

Can someone please help.. My passwords are saving. They auto fill...But before this latest version I had a few sites that I could ciIck on the bookmark and it would just open without having too log in.. I do have clear and delete cookies and history, but in previous versions these were in the exempt list so everything was saved. Would like that to still be in place both in private Firefox and normal.. This version has wiped out a lot of settings I assume I dont want to have to log in and go through check ups..Passwords and user details are there but not auto log in think there exception rule in previous version not sure where that is now
