After a recent firefox download, I noticed that on my 3 Mac computers, all using firefox on facebook, that none of my searches are being remembered anymore. But on Chrome they are remembered.

Does anyone else have this problem and what can be done about it. Facebook is useless for me without being able to use the search feature properly.

After uploading Firefox Update 115.35.2ser, Cookies and Site Data will not fully clear. The Clear Data button removes some cookies and data, but there is always 122 KB of disk space still there that will not be removed. I have deleted my add-ons, but that had no effect.

This happened once before (several years ago) but only went away with a new update.

If I use the "refresh Firefox feature will that fix the problem and if I use that feature will all of my bookmarks be lost?

Sometimes, after restarts, FF forgets every site I'm logged into. Open tabs persist, the login sessions do not. I have no better observation of when this happens, I'm afraid - it's not every time. Because of this it's very hard to reproduce reliably - over the past 2 weeks, it didn't happen and now it was 2 days in a row. "Clear cookies and site data" is definitely off. I have no extensions apart from Dark Reader and uBlock. Because my daily work requires me to use a dozen sites I have to log into, all using 2FA, this is incredibly annoying. I have also completely reset my profile, which did help for a while but then it started again - so I'm thinking the profile reset was more of a coincidence than actual causality.

Unable to disable PERMANENT STORAGE. network.cookie.noPersistentStorage does not work. No policies.json entry available

I don't really want to disable storage or ALL cookies. But I DO want to COMPLETELY sanitize on shutdown. While this policy is effective AND network.cookie.noPersistentStorage in config has been set True, NEITHER stops Persistent Storage nor cleans it. ONLY manual cleaning (deletion) of persistent storage is available in Settings: Privacy & Security: Manage browsing data. There is no other option available that I can find. One solution suggested a setting that both disallowed cross-site cookies AND isolate other cross-site data but there is no setting like that. There are TWO separate settings for that. Besides, that is not what is wanted.

How can I either completely disable persistent storage - or, more preferred is to completely clear persistent storage upon quitting?!

I have everything else cleared on quitting but persistent storage is indeed persistent. If I have to, I will disable it completely (not preferred) but do NOT want to disable ALL storage use.

Why doesn't network.cookie.noPersistentStorage not work? Or, if it does, what does it actually do?

I would like a policies.json entry for this as I already employ the file in /etc/firefox/policies as described. This is the preferred method for multiple users.

I am using Ubuntu and Firefox Snap for Ubuntu 149.0.2 (64-bit). Let me know if other information is needed. Thank you.

This is a growing frustration with this browser. Has Mozilla changed something?

I allow cookies and want them so when I choose a website I use all the time, I can get to it fast AND I see firefox finish typing it. Common websirtes like Home Depot now it does not remember anything NOT ANYTHING. I AM AT SUCH A LOSS.

PLEASE HELP. In the settings and security I have it to allow for cookies. I do not tell it to delete cookies when i close the browswer yet it is not remembering my websites. I can delete cookies if i wanted to do that. Meanwile browsing is slow and it is such an aggravation. tried opal browser because I want something simple and will do what i want, like accept and keep cookies especially for sites I go to some times I cannot remember.

So please can you help with SUGGESTONS just asking this and that is not help when it goes on and one if you don't know I understand but I want to know what can cause this so i can figure out what in the world setting is off on this browser. I never had this problem before. I use Bitdefender but it is just the freebee one so it's not aggressive. I can't imagine why this and even the other chrome has stopped it may be a setting in my computer. PLEASE if you know tell me how to fixc that.

I had burglars and these scum tampered with my notebook, they did so many t hings that screwed up i thought i had it all set back but this has been off. PLEASE HELP AND THANKS IN ADVANCE I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR ANYONE AND EVERYONE'S TIME.
