I am having the same problem as this fixed one, a year later: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1468647 As soon as I try to connect to an account via Google, or go to Gmail/Docs/Drive/Classroom, I'm always taken to a “Clear cache and delete cookies” page. So I followed the instructions on the page, deleted all my data and saved cookies from Firefox and even tried to reinstall Firefox completely, but nothing changed, I'm always redirected to this page. Logging in when in incognito mode works fine though.

Firefox version 144.0.2 MacOS Ventura 13.0 Language: French (FR)

Additional information on the problem of not clearing history. It takes from the tool bar at least 5 attempts to clear the Cache, cookies and past pages. The last 15KB of the system cache will not clear. Tried from Setting; Privacy and Security, said there was still 6.9MB, Cleared, check also the past pages box. Came back to the Tool Bar, still has the 15KB in Cache, but settings said there was zero. Not a critical issue at this time. Going forward when you have a response. JJE

When ever I shut down browser clears history and most importantly signs me out of all my accounts making me to sign in for every account I have. I need to stay signed in all my accounts.

I recently noticed that my Microsoft account remains active after I sign out if I press the back button. All my personal and account information is still displayed, indicating that the account is still signed in. I even tried clearing all browsing data and history, but that didn't resolve the issue. This doesn't happen with my Gmail account, nor when I access my Microsoft account using Edge or Chrome.

I understand that closing the browser likely signs me out, but I have no way to confirm that unless I check for active devices in my account settings. Can you explain why this timeout issue occurs? It seems odd, especially since Mozilla prioritizes security and privacy.

Downloaded Fire Fox on this new Windows 11 Laptop. Cannot get it to completely clear history, either from tool bar, also have done from Settings, Security to delete all history and cookies when closing. Then from History highlighted and deleted all from there. What is going on? Great that the old data from PC with all add-ons and bookmarks were transferred. I do not know how I did that.

One of the recent updates changed Firefox's behaviour. It now remembers my login status to various sites when I close the browser. For example, if I was logged in to facebook when I closed the browser, I will be logged in when I open the browser and navigate to facebook.com. This was not the case until very recently (a few weeks at most). Is there a way to change this?

I have strict privacy settings, and Firefox should delete all cookies when it is closed. There are no 'exceptions'. I have 'always use private mode' checked for history. Also: I haven't changed any settings recently - something changed in Firefox.

Any advice? Thank you.

At the end of each session, I ALWAYS delete my cookies and history. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do this. (At the moment, 2.9 kb remain.) Please advise as to how to accomplish this, and, if the problem happens again, how to remedy it.

Sincere thanks,

How do I turn on cookies for firefox so I can watch youtube videos, I never had this problem for the 6 years I've been using this laptop but all of a sudden google say's my cookies is the problem.

Hi Mozilla community,

I’ve run into an issue that’s getting a bit frustrating, and I’m hoping someone here might be able to help. Whenever I use AI chatbots (like ChatGPT or similar) and then close my browser, I find that I have to log in all over again the next time I open it. This happens every single time I restart the browser, and it's starting to disrupt my workflow. I’ve already checked my Firefox settings — things like cookie behavior and privacy options — but I still can’t seem to get the sessions to persist. I’m not using private browsing, and I haven’t set it to clear history or cookies on exit (at least as far as I can tell). Could this be related to a specific setting I’ve missed, or is it just how Firefox handles session data for these kinds of sites? Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I’m using the latest version of Firefox, and I’ve noticed that every time I restart the browser, all my logged-in sessions (like Gmail, Reddit, etc.) are gone and I have to log in again.

I already checked:

“Delete cookies and site data on close” is turned off

History settings are set to “Remember history”

Tried clearing the cache and re-logging inhttps://wendysmenuprices.com/ Still facing the same problem. Is there some other setting I might be missing, or could this be a profile issue?

Thanks in advance!

A few days ago, my Firefox browser stopped clearing browsing data, cookies, history, cache. I am using a custom-built desktop computer with Windows 10 Home, Firefox v. 143.0.4. What is the setting I need to change so this will start clearing data again? The "Clear data and cookies" no longer works, and my search has brought up no other options that I have found. I need simple instructions, please.
