Occasionally I clear the cache memory for the apps on my Poco F5. Of all the apps I use, firefox consumes the highest (8GB+) of cache. So yesterday I cleared the cache memory, didn't use firefox apart from minor browsing for 10 mins or so. Now it's filled back again (6GB+). The app size is just 267MB, but the cache is insanely high.

Firefox Android 122.0.1


Hello,

I am looking for a way to allow the storage of cookies and local storage data for certain websites. Like it is possible with Firefox for Linux with Cookies and Website Data -> Manage Exceptions.

Is this also possible with firefox for Android ?

with best regards Vic

I'm using Firefox Nightly and the "suggested logins" bar at the bottom is still there, even after I have already logged in to youtube on the website. Actually, it's still on this tab as well, while I am already logged in to Mozilla.

Cookies don't clear bug while tab still open

The Delete Browsing Data option, manually or by the quit button, doesn't clear cookies if the tab is still open.

Simple example: go to youtube.com, search for anything, e.g. "asmr". In the same tab, go to a new site, e g. google.com. Then go to settings and Delete Browsing Data, with all selected but downloads. Now, all tabs are closed, so in a new tab go to youtube.com, and click in the search and the previous search, e.g. "asmr", shows up in a droplist.

This droplist behavior shouldn't occur when all data is cleared. This behavior doesn't occur if the tab is closed before Delete Browsing History is selected.

Firefox forgets what chapter i have read on a manga website from time to time

So im useing firefox to block adds and pop ups when reading manga, the website changes the color of a link to a chapter after you have clicked it to show that you have read it. But Firefox “forgets” this information from time to time making it hard for me to track what I’m reading. Since I follow and actively read around 150 different manga, it’s hard for me to remember them all by name, so this tracking feature is really helpful for me. But Firefox removes this information. How do I turn off this “anti tracking” feature without allow adds again. It seems to delete this information on a schedule so I should be able to keep this info without having all the invasive adds

I assumed I posted this question before but I can‘t find it in the forums:

Since some time (2-3 weeks?) Firefox on iOS keeps „logging me oug“ from any website I use.

On google every time I have to consent again, on my news site I have to re-sign in every time to use my subscription …

I am not using the private mode nor have I set to clean everything after closing anywhere (or I don‘t know where to set this).

I am syncing with firefox sync and on my desktop all is just fine. But on iOS it‘s so annoying I am about to drop firefox.

Is there anybody who‘s got an idea what is going on or how I can change this? I uninstalled the App, it‘s automatically kept updated, newest iOS and newest firefox iOS version installed. Nothing helps and cannot find any setting explaining this.

Thanks in advance!

So i signed up in few websites and after completing my work instead of logging out I simply deleted everything history,cookies and all and I've disabled saving password info. But when I again open Firefox I'm still logged in. It doesn't happen in chrome why Firefox kept me logged in websites after clearing all cookies. Is there any solution to this?

I have searched in vain to find a way to keep cookies for a certain site on my android. Everything I see says to go to privacy in settings, but that doesn't exist on my phone's browser.

It's really irritating to have the site always send me an email, warning me that I have logged in, as well as insisting on texting me a code. Telling it to recognize my device does nothing if the cookies are deleted. (And, no, I'm not going to set it to always save all cookies when I choose "quit" on the browser.)

Please add this ability, Firefox! My computer browser has had the ability for years and years.

I have noticed that mobile browsers (including Firefox Mobile) don't seem to give you the option to clear cookies and other website data on close while preserving website info/cookies of sites you want to keep logged into.

Is this a feature that will eventually be implemented in Firefox? Or is there some kind of limitation in Android/iOS that makes implementing this not possible or tricky?

I have been using Firefox for years with no problem but over the past 2 weeks it has been driving me absolutely crazy. I made absolutely no changes to the settings but every day it is logging me out of LinkedIn, Gmail, etc etc...sites that I use all the time. Totally annoying. Was this the result of some update? And more importantly, how can I fix it? Thanks!
