Firefox Community Forum

Downloaded Fire Fox on this new Windows 11 Laptop. Cannot get it to completely clear history, either from tool bar, also have done from Settings, Security to delete all history and cookies when closing. Then from History highlighted and deleted all from there. What is going on? Great that the old data from PC with all add-ons and bookmarks were transferred. I do not know how I did that.

I have specific tabs that open when I start Firefox (email, calendar, etc.). Up until recently, the logins for these pages were retained, so when I started Firefox, I was already logged in. Recently, something has changed, and the info is not retained (cookies?), and all pages are at the login screen instead of being automatically logged in.

How do I get Firefox to retain the login info again?

Hi,

I’m using the latest version of Firefox, and I’ve noticed that every time I restart the browser, all my logged-in sessions (like Gmail, Reddit, etc.) are gone and I have to log in again.

I already checked:

“Delete cookies and site data on close” is turned off

History settings are set to “Remember history”

Tried clearing the cache and re-logging inhttps://wendysmenuprices.com/ Still facing the same problem. Is there some other setting I might be missing, or could this be a profile issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mozilla community,

I’ve run into an issue that’s getting a bit frustrating, and I’m hoping someone here might be able to help. Whenever I use AI chatbots (like ChatGPT or similar) and then close my browser, I find that I have to log in all over again the next time I open it. This happens every single time I restart the browser, and it's starting to disrupt my workflow. I’ve already checked my Firefox settings — things like cookie behavior and privacy options — but I still can’t seem to get the sessions to persist. I’m not using private browsing, and I haven’t set it to clear history or cookies on exit (at least as far as I can tell). Could this be related to a specific setting I’ve missed, or is it just how Firefox handles session data for these kinds of sites? Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

At the end of each session, I ALWAYS delete my cookies and history. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do this. (At the moment, 2.9 kb remain.) Please advise as to how to accomplish this, and, if the problem happens again, how to remedy it.

Sincere thanks,

Laura Rose Bushey

Using a different laptop. When accessing site, continually need to verify its me even after I select "remember this device" or other confirmation request. I do have enhanced security which is not the problem. Is this something to do with Firefox settings or is the inability to retain information at the site location.

Hi, What settings do I need to change to completely clear the cache? I've tried everything I know, but I still have the problem that cookie settings, for example, can't be changed afterwards because they're stuck somewhere in the cache. When I open a new private window, the cache is completely empty. Why can't I do this with an existing window? By the way, I have: Firefox Developer - 143.0b2 (64-bit) on the aurora update channel.

Thanks, Dietmar

Several sites I frequently visit have the option to skip the verification code process "for this browser". Although I check the box for this choice, the next time I go to log in there, it still requires me to go through the process. What do I have to do to fix this? Thanks in advance for your help!

So I've been having two different but equally annoying issues with Firefox for a while (I know it's Firefox itself because other browsers and my internet connection in general is fine).

One: After my computer has been rebooted, all websites forget my device/act like this is a new device and log me out. I have to go through logging back in and also confirming it's me for certain things every time there's a restart.

Two: It doesn't happen immediately after the computer has been restarted, but eventually things load very sluggishly and even stop loading altogether, off and on, like I am having internet issues/disconnection.

Could these things be connected or am I just having two separate, annoying things happening at the same time? Thanks for the help.
