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 have Firefox 99 for Mac "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is unchecked History is set to "Remember History" Enhanced Tracking Protection is set to "standard"

Yet every time I return to a site where I've checked "remember me" , I'll get prompted to login, and perhaps also get a security message "you've logged in from a new computer" in my email from the site.

Is there an easy way to verify that Firefox is storing cookies for a site. Maybe an option to right-click on a site's web page and view "cookies are stored for this site" in the context menu? I'm losing a lot of my productivity time logging back into sites that I just logged into earlier in the day.

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!

I keep getting this prompt: "It seems your browser is blocking 3rd party session cookies which are required for the Kaltura application. To resolve this issue, please update your settings to allow 3rd party cookies." I have tried so many things and nothing is working. I've had this happen before sometimes at the beginning of a semester; but I have been able to restore it in the past. Now, nothing I do works. Please help. Also, how can we prevent this from happening again? Kaltura is a well known website used by colleges and universities for teaching online classes and playing back video. Why do we have to constantly update the settings? And if so, why are they not working now? Please help. I need to teach my class. Thanks.

almost all are Facebook storage. I'm feeling a little reluctant to delete all site data. If I clear all cookies and site data will that fix the issue? will the issue re-occur?

Our backend sets a cookie for maintaining login sessions with SameSite=None and Secure (to support loading our front-end from localhost for developers and from a third party domain for PR previews).

This is the respose header:

set-cookie: ESESSIONID=<redacted>; Secure; HttpOnly; Path=/; SameSite=None; Max-Age=86399

However, Firefox does not send the cookie back with requests, but logs this error in the console:

Cookie “ESESSIONID” has been rejected because it is in a cross-site context and its “SameSite” is “Lax” or “Strict”.

We have worked around the issue by configuring exceptions in the Security & Privacy settings, but I am curious to why Firefox rejects the cookie with this error message.

I have to click the login button and use my phone to confirm the login. Afterwards i get send to an error page only saying "something went wrong". If i click the login button again it suddenly works and i can use my youtube like i used to on Chrome. I use my google account for youtube.

So the whole issue started when I couldn't share a video on my community tab because it kept giving me the error message "enable google.com for cookies". I click accept a few times it didn't work. Then I went to cookies- extensions and enabled both youtube and google in it, didn't work. I deleted my cookies and data and tried again. I had to sign up to all my google accounts. Still it didn't fix the issue I kept getting the same error. Then I went to the enhanced cookies settings went to customs and chose the option "cookies from unvisited sites" This fixed the community tab issue. I shared my video and then went back to settings and set the standard enhanced tracking protection. I got signed off my gmail and google accounts I signed up again and closed the browser.

When I came back my google and gmails are signed out again but my accounts still signed in my youtube for some reason. I keep getting signed off on google but not youtube. I don't have the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" option enabled. IT IS DISABLED.

HOW DO IT FIX IT? I don't want to keep signing in every time also I don't wish to reinstall firefox. PLEASE HELP

We use FireFox 118+ . our product needs to collect all cookies, including 3rd party cookies from any domain loaded.

* We have turned off "Total Cookie Protection" by selecting Custom privacy settings and un-checking all check boxes (sceenshot attached)
  • Also turned off "Enhanced Tracking Protection" for the website

But, when we browse to any site, the collected cookies under cross-domain are either empty or less compared to chrome.

Is there any other setting we can use to collect all the cookies ?

ex domain : https://www.santander.com/es/home , if you compare the cookies collected with chrome are much more than whats captured in FireFox.

Please help, this is crucial

Thanks,
