firefox momentarily shows cookie preference, then the dialog box disappears.

If I enter trouble shoot mode then the popup box appears long enough for me to accept cookies, but given the momentary popup sometimes is so fast you miss it, I have no idea if that is the cause of some sites not working.

I am so confused, i have issue with staying loged in on youtube. I am clearly loged in but when i try to comment it tells me to log in. Also if I put a playlist i log out between tracks. I am not sure if it is firefox or youtube issue, but i am trying to investigate the issue as it is ongoing for a while at this point. Please see attached image.

New Version Ruined Privacy Option

The most recent Firefox update (145.0) lacks the convenience of easily editing the cookie collection that tells websites about me. The feature I'm referring to was under settings - privacy and security - and then something about cookies. It allowed me to show what sites had collected cookies on me recently and to erase any private data they had collected.

I hope this was an oversight or the feature has simply been moved to another location. If not, I'd really like to roll back the latest update and pause any further updates until the old functionality is restored to the new updates.

Can anybody help me?

When using Firefox, some web sites ask for consent. I tried opening the same sites using the Edge browser, and none of them ask for consent. Is there a setting somewhere in Firefox that controls this? Thx.

I have Privacy & Security set to Strict with Cookies and Site Data deleted when the browser is closed with only 3 sites in the exclusion tab. I also use a VPN to assist with masking and for connections to defined systems and as part of that I will randomly set it to different countries 'because I can'.

I was looking at the website for the current Rugby World Cup (https://www.rugbyworldcup.com) but it was showing the wrong times for the matches. A little digging showed it had remembered my location from some point last week when the VPN was active and set to Iceland.

There is nothing I can find in my browser settings to permit this and I would appreciate pointers to check further since one of the reasons I have set the higher level of restrictions in my browser is to stop this kind of activity from websites.

Every time I access my bank's website using Firefox I get a pop-up telling me to "manage online experience". After I "manage" it, it appears on every page I go to on the bank's site (ie. savings account or chequing account etc.) I have white listed several of the pages in Privacy and Security but this has no effect. Obviously I am missing something. Can anyone give me guidance? Thx.
