I am following all the online instructions I can find to turn off private browsing on Firefox - in Privacy and Security by clicking on 'Remember History' for example, and also restarting laptop - but it is not working and I must constantly log back into all my accounts and websites, including my e-mail account. I need assistance with specific and exact instructions how to remove private browsing and explanation why not working what I have already tried. Thank-you for your assistance.

I can't figure out why gmail will not allow me to log in. It tells me that cookies are turned off but I can't even figure out what that means or how to correct it

I don't know how to fix this in Firefox.

since this morning, it seems firefox asks me to keep signing everywhere --google accounts, youtube, netflix etc. i go through 2step signin, i click on remember this choice but when i close firefox and reopen it i have to do everything again

Recently, websites (e.g., YouTube) have stopped keeping me logged in. I've already checked all the security and privacy settings, but haven't found anything that seems to be causing this.

I hope someone can help me. It's really annoying having to log in to all the websites every day.

I have Firefox set to "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" and also "Clear history when Firefox closes" (with everything set to clear except site data).

Then I have an exception list of sites to save cookies and site data for (for example, youtube.com).

The problem I have is that not all of the cookies are deleted when I exit. In addition to the sites on the exception list, there are others not on the list that remain.

For example, in the screenshot, this is a cookie from gleam.io. It's setting it for domain .youtube.com, and this is one of the cookies that remains. I believe it's remaining because youtube.com is on the exception list. However, it should be deleted because it's for the gleam.io site. If I check the browsing data in Firefox after restarting, it shows up as site=gleam.io.

Furthermore, I question whether the cookie should be allowed in the first place, since I have Strict Tracking Protection enabled, which should disable all cross-site cookies.

Hi, After the latest update, I experienced unusual Firefox behavior. When I turn off PC Firefox signs me out from all sites and when I open them it also requires me to accept cookies again (on any site, even when I visited it in the previous session). I thought that the update accidentally turned on the option to delete cookies after closing Firefox, but I still have this option unchecked in settings. I can also still se all my previous cookies in settings. Passwords are also still saved in Firefox password manager. The PC is new (3 months) so I don't expect it to have memory problems.

Should I go back to the older version of Firefox? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

System: Windows 11 Pro 25H2, Firefox 146.0 (20251205151434), I don't use any Add-ons

Hello, I encountered an issue today where, upon starting my PC and opening Firefox, I found that I had been logged out of every website. My bookmarks, browsing history, and extensions are all still present, and I am using my usual profile. However, all active login sessions were cleared. I haven't changed any privacy settings recently, and I'm wondering if this is a known issue following a recent update or if it indicates a corruption in my profile's cookie storage. Could you please advise if this is a "normal" occurrence or if there are steps I should take to prevent this from happening again?

I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Luka.

Why are you NOT clearing browsing data. I click on clear browsing data. Temp Cached files goes to zero. When I open a new browser that data still remains. I insist that you clear data for real not just for show!

Upgrading my router for faster speed has turned into a two-day nightmare. I finally got two Yahoo e-mail accounts back, but still can't get into my gmail ones because gmail wants me to allow cookies. How do I do that in Firefox?

Google sent the following message when I tried to open a Youtube video.

How do I get my $10 gift card?

Hi folks

I have a particularly infuriating problem. A few weeks back, Firefox stopped displaying my usernames and passwords whenever I wanted to log into a site. This coincided with my installing BitDefender, although I don't know why.

Through googling I eventually realised I could go into about:config to fix this. signon.rememberSignons displays as false, when I turn it to true it fixes the issue.

But here is the problem I can't solve. Everytime I restart firefox or my PC / Mac (I am using both, with a syncronised account on both windows and MacOS) it sets signon.rememberSignons to false AGAIN. Which means every single time I browse I have to go into about:config and fix this. Maddening.

Please can you help?
