Firefox Community Forum

I only cleared the cookie for Blogger and cleared my cache. I was logged out of Facebook, Grok, ChatGPT, Linked in and X and possibly more websites I haven't visited yet. I wasn't logged out of Google I don't think. I don't use Google for logging in anywhere and cookies aren't cleared when I close my browser.

Although I remain logged in to sites and cookies show in DevTools, the cookies list in settings>privacy>Cookies_and_Site_Data>manage_data shows as empty, no cookies listed.

In troubleshoot mode, the same blank list. I haven't changed any settings. network.cookie.cookieBehavior is set to 1 I'm on windows 10 Home 22H2

The update to 147.0.1 seems to have caused it. Please advise.

I deleted coockies and since then (even though the Settings appear correct) every time open a web site I hace to accept cookies and re enter my log in. Nothing is rememebered. I evern have some sites opening blank (without my saved options) but on my home computer the same user name and password displays the data that i missing on my work computer. I exported passwords, deleted and re-installed Firefox but there is still the same problem.

Help please!

using linux cinnamon, have to continuously sign in to my sites. I didn't have to do this before. what can I do to stop the cookie deletion or whatever is causing this??

In Firefox, I have several windows open, each with many tabs. (And BTW, I love the Firefox tab-organization feature.) I would like to empty the cache and delete all cookies. Will that close the open tabs? Is there a way to delete the cookies, empty the cache and preserve all windows & tabs?

      Thank you!

I have had Google today almost lock me out of my account there thru various email accounts I have with them because they were not recognizing my devices that I always use daily and have for months and even years because of cookies that I don't delete and because I was not on the same browsers or accounts each time which I was unaware that I had or should stay on the same. So could I through you find out how to delete cookies that I have/had accepted in the past?

This Help Article: ( [|"Manage local site storage settings"]) says: Allow or block websites from storing information "You can set up Firefox to always allow or block specific sites from storing information. You can also allow a site to store only for a single session. "

So I added a URL into 'Cookies and Site Data' > 'Manage Exceptions' with the option "Allow for Session". But it appears to have no effect. The site's cookies and data don't disappear from the "Manage Cookies and Site Data" window after Firefox is quit.

Does "Allow for Session" mean that a site's cookies and data will be deleted when Firefox is quit? If yes, the feature is not working ... in my version of Firefox which is 115.32.0esr. Or, am I missing something? I have "Enhanced Tracking Protection" set at "Strict", if that has any relevance.

Thanks !

I have noticed for quite a long time (>1 year) that even though I have this setting correctly enabled to delete cookies and cache when closing the browser, when I reopen the browser, even after a computer restart, the data is still there. I have to manually direct the browser to delete these items for it to ever get rid of them.

I have spent countless hours looking at the same settings, all correctly enabled, yet this feature just will not work. I am fully current with the latest updates for the browser and computer. I have checked, and double checked to make sure I don't have anything listed in the 'exceptions' list. It is, and always has been empty. Using Win11 Pro desktop, current version of FF is 146.0.1 (64-bit) as I write this.

Seriously, what is going on? I even switched to another browser for a while and that browser's settings worked just fine and deleted all cookies and cache when closing.

Recently, Firefox has started making me log into my "keep me logged in" sites such as facebook, slickdeals, etc. I've tried changing setting to not clear history. But still every time I close Firefox and open it back up, I have to log into those sites again. Any help would be appreciated.

For a couple of days now my cookies have been getting deleted or corrupted every time I turn off and back on my computer. The only temporary solution I've found have been to delete my cookies.sqlite file, copy cookies.sqlite.bak and renaming it to cookies.sqlite. It is very frustrating to lose all my extensions, my cookies, my bookmarks and logins to my usual websites. I am using Firefox version 146.0.1, on a Windows 11 computer running version 25H2. Also, my original cookies.sqlite file is 512kb while my backup is 2048kb exactly, if that is useful in any way. How can I fix my issue?

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.
