iOS 26 / Firefox 143.0.1 When trying to delete “all site data” under settings - data management, nothing actually happens although the stored sites disappear at the moment. But when closing and opening the browser again I find the “deleted” site data still there. It only seems to work if I select a few specific sites and hit delete data.

Where / what file is used to store Cache & Cookies

Unsure if this is correct category... Years ago when Firefox was in it's infancy - Firefox settings used to allow much more power/control over cookies & how you deleted them. You could actually display & select individually ones you wanted to delete. Now Firefox has it's own Interface 'utility' and only allows you to delete 'groups' of cookies based on their App name. I was looking for the location / name of the dataset which is used to store cookies - so I could delete them more finely. Or is this in some sort of special format which is ONLY accessible thru Settings. I see MANY Cookie add-ons, mostly dealing with auto-responding to cookie prompts. Actually as of this writing - I am trying one of these.

A credit union has changed everything they had to login and use their website. I have to call every time I want to pay a bill ,so they can turn something on, or off, showing I am using a computer I have used in the past. It is their security. I was told that, in order for them to recognize my computer I have to turn off, uncheck the box saying to clear my history when I close my browser. I can no longer clear my history or cache if I want to use my bank. There has to be somewhere, to place them in the privacy and security setting so this does not delete what has to be kept in order to have my PC recognized by the worst IT department at any bank, so I don't have make transactions, only during bank hours, and wait 30 minutes on the phone to get this turned off. What instructions can you send me to stop JUST that credit union from being cleared on my History and Cache?

I have been trying to clear out the cache under settings (cookies & site data) (everything is checked under clear data) everything clears out except for 440 now 454 KB of disk space. I cannot get it to clear out. I even uninstalled fire fox and it was clear for a couple of uses and now it is back and instead of 440 it is now 454. ••• Cookies and Site Data Your stored cookies, site data, and cache are currently using 454 KB of disk space. Learn more Based on your history settings, Firefox deletes cookies and site data from your session when you close the browser. ••• How do I zero it out. I find this annoying.

Thank you, Teri

Everytime I open the FF browser I have to relog into everything, I didn't change any settings either, it just started doing this....
