website for example like VK - https://vk.com i can't never sign in/log in.. it keeps telling me The page isn’t redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection to login.vk.ru.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

i tried to - delete cookies - delete history - add exception (vk.ru/vk.com) to Cookies and Site Data - private Mode - disable HTTPS-Only Mode - reinstall firefox but still like some other website the same problem.... plz help these websites work fine -- by using other Browsers i can login

Hi, I love my recommended by pocket on my new tab or when firefox opens. Yesterday Firefox asked me if I'd like to try a new setting disabling all cookies, I did opt in. After that my recommended by pocket disappeared. I opted out of disabling all cookies, but it hasn't reappeared. I checked about:config and the setting for recommendations is true. Please help!

I need help in a bad way because I have tried all the directions BigFish has given. I am also 82 years old so I will follow your advice. The login worked for a couple of days but I think Firefox had some updates because computer restarted several times when I wasn't present. When that happens I then find myself having problems with Facebook which is a big nightmare in itself but then I also find I once again am blocked from my game site. Below is what I get each time at the BF game site:

Cookies are required to sign in!

No, we're not talking about chocolate-chip cookies. "Cookies" are little text files sent to your browser to help keep track of users. Your browser is set to not accept cookies, so our system cannot sign you in.

Please follow the instructions below for your browser (starting at the top menu), and then refresh this page:

   Internet Explorer:
   Tools -> Options -> Privacy tab. Reduce the setting to medium.
   Opera:
   Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Cookies -> Accept cookies.
   Firefox:
   Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cookies tab -> Allow sites to set cookies.
   Safari:
   Safari -> Preferences -> Security -> Accept Cookies: Only from sites you navigate to.
   Netscape:
   Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies -> Allow cookies based on privacy settings (or Allow all cookies).

I have tried my best to get Firefox to allow the cookies or eat them or whatever is needed but apparently I am doing something wrong. The BF tech is now advising me to change to another browser but I am unwilling to do that. I am used to Firefox.

Please, is there anyone who can help me, even walk me through so I don't get this same page again and again?

Gail

P.S. I am not above begging either. I am elderly and very close to tears because I retired from a prototype engineering and developmental lab where I worked with robots and all that. I guess they have turned on me.

Firefox doesn't remember my progress for videos using Vimeo player

I watch videos on dropout.tv which uses the Vimeo SDK as their player for the videos. After switching to Firefox, the video progress has consistently started from where I left off on Chrome. The site doesn't remember where I ended the video when I watch it on Firefox. I assume this has to do with the cookies, but I've manually added "dropout.tv" to the list of exceptions in Firefox settings so that that site is always allowed to store cookies.

Returning briefly to Chrome, the player immediately tracked my progress again, so the issue is definitely related to Firefox somehow.

I haven't deleted my browsing history since 2021 September, but I wish to restore browsing history from 2021Jan-2021Sep for some reasons.

I am using mac, latest version of macOS and latest version of firefox. I have read some similar articles (https://support.mozilla.org/fy-NL/questions/1290163) but it doesn't help. It says I need to go through "Start" > "Search" > "Tools" > "Folder Options." . I cannot find folder options, and I cannot find index.dat inside my mac. What can I do ? Any help is appreciated.

I have tried EVERY suggested fix for viewing Kaltura videos in the FireFox browser. NOTHING works! I refuse to use Google (they know enough about everyone as it is) and Edge works but I do not care for it.

Can't be that freakin hard to allow the viewing of Kaltura lecture videos posted by professors in an application that is used by many educational institutions across the country. Google and Edge seem to have figured it out so why can't Mozilla?

This issue needs to be fixed!

Power outage - logged out of everything

Hi everyone,

I unfortunately have somewhat unstable power where I live which is causing me some issues with Firefox. I plan on purchasing a UPS at some point, but just haven't messed with it right now. When there is a power outage and I have Firefox open, I always get logged out of all websites. Sometimes I get the message about Firefox already running and I delete the parent.lock file to fix that, but I still have to log back into every single website again (whether or not I have to delete parent.lock).

I've went over all settings (such as auto deleting cookies, etc) and nothing looks like it would cause this issue. It's almost like the cookies are "expiring" after a power outage and are no longer any good. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Feature Request, Cookies API - Help finding cookie source

Hello,

I am the developer of the "FlagCookies" - add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/flag-cookies/

I would like to make a request to include "window id" and "tab id" in the cookie "onCookieChanged" -Event triggered dynamically.

At the present state it is not possible to identify where a cookie is originating from, only the "cookies.cookie" values, but no values for "Window" and "Tab Id" which would dramatically help to assign a cookie to a particular domain even if the "cookie.originURL" or "cookie.url" is different from the surfed on website.

As an example, you can visit "https://freenet.de" which loads different ad trackers - which cookies are displayed as "Cross Origin" in Flag Cookies. A screenshot is attached.

In case you need clarification or more information, please let me know.
