Firefox Support Forum

I'd appreciate easy to follow steps (for the last version of Firefox for a Mac using Mojave) to locate cookies for only ONE SPECIFIC website and delete them.

Thanks.

After exiting private browsing, Firefox does not delete cookies. For example, the site: https://4pda.to leaves cookies from the site: devapps.ru | And if the site that I visit is built to redirect to another site, then the cookies of the first site remain in the browser. Try to go with Russian IP to https://aliexpress.com/ and you will be redirected to https://aliexpress.ru/ while the cookies from the first site (aliexpress.com) remain. Manual blocking in Firefox does not work in this case (devapps.ru), adding in block with Adguard helps. The screenshot shows the last two cookies that appeared in normal mode after using private browsing. And my settings. Chrome doesn't have this problem.

I transferred data from an old profile into a new one as instructed here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile I did get my tabs, bookmarks and saved logins transferred, but every website I visit asks me about cookies as if it has never seen me before, which I would have liked to avoid. Should I have copied other files besides permissions.sqlite and the other ones mentioned in the above link to transfer my cookie permissions? Sync is not an option because my old laptop is broken. I could only copy the files from backups.

i've been a loyal fan for over 20 years but i just can't comprehend why would ignoring dns settings be a good idea .. i can't even imagine a hypothetical situation when this makes sense.

and now i have to either tolerate edge, chrome or just forget internet which is really hard to do when you work in IT ...

amazing.

So for my main gmail I have 2 step for obvious security reasons, but I want it to trust my PC so that I don't have to pull out my phone every time I try to access it. No matter how many times I click the option to trust this PC it always ask' for the 2 step, and I don't see the PC on the trusted list in my gmail settings. I have already added "mail.google.com" to the exceptions part of the cookie and site data settings, even "account.google.com" but it just doesn't seem to work. What is the obvious thing that I am missing?

Every week or so, I discover that my most visited sites ask me again for cookie consent, meaning whatever I saved the previous time gets removed. This also happens with extensions (for example, I get logged out of my password manager extension). I strongly suspect this happens after Firefox performs updates in the background.

It's incredibly frustrating and I am considering switching to another browser, after using Firefox for more than 10 years. This behavior started this year, and I've been struggling to understand why and what I can do about it.

I would very much appreciate some help on fixing this, it's driving me crazy. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am a developer currently working on an open-source solution called GeoNetwork (https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/). This application has a Java backend that uses a JSESSIONID cookie to track user sessions. One instance of the application can be accessed anonymously here: https://sextant.ifremer.fr/Donnees/Catalogue

The session cookie is set on the first request to the backend with the following parameters:

Domain: "sextant.ifremer.fr" expirationDate: "Session" HostOnly: true HttpOnly: true SameSite: "None" Secure: true

This application theoretically allows login in from a different origin. For example from https://www.milieumarinfrance.fr/Acces-aux-donnees/Catalogue, which under the hood points to the same backend. We noticed recently that when accessing the application from a different origin in Firefox, the network requests aimed at the "sextant.ifremer.fr" host *do not carry any existing session cookie*, thus rendering authenticated access impossible.

The existing session cookie is correctly used when I add an "allow" exception for the sextant.ifremer.fr origin in the cookies settings of Firefox (see attached screenshot in French). So I figure that it's Firefox that decides not to use any existing cookie when on this origin.

Is there any way to indicate to Firefox that this cookie is legitimate and that it is needed for essential functionalities, without relying on the user allowing the cookie explicitly?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello, I am trying to get FF to keep some cookies for intranet sites, so that I dont need to login all the time when I open some sites on the intranet. Currently I have: Cookies&Site Data: Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed, An entry in "Manage Exceptions" for each server address (e.g. https://host.domain.tld) with "Allow". Privacy&Security: Use custom settings for history, Clear history when FF closes, in "Settings" everything ticked. But I still need to login on all sites after I closed FF.

How can I avoid this logins everytime I open a site?

About every month or so Firefox decides to delete my login info and i have to relog everywhere again.

While this is not a critical issue, its a very annoying one.

My cookie settings are on standard, and the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" square is unticked. I use Dashlane for my passwords but ive used it for a long time before on mozilla and other browsers and i've never had issues with it.

Hello

I've deleted my cookies and other data by mistake. I had a gmail account logged in(meaning when i open gmail, browser doesn't ask password etc.) now after i delete this data, i can't access to my gmail(forgot password and it wasn't connected to any kind of recovery yet. New gmail).

I somehow managed to get my previous firefox data using shadow explorer. when i follow 'Recovering important data from an old profile' guide, it doesn't work. Ex: my old cookies.sqlite file is 1.5MB. when i copy it to new profile i see it is copied. But whenever i open firefox i see cookies.sqlite new size is 96kb and i don't see any old data.

I tried almost everything on this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile I copied whole folders(both roaming and local). I copied only important files such as login.json or cookies.sqlite etc. Nothing works.

What am i missing here?

I used to be able to right click on the yahoo mail tab and it would allow me to select a work, personal etc. yahoo email accounts. This would let me be logged into multiple email accounts at the same time and each one would be on a different tab.

I'm not anywhere close to understanding how to change anything (not technology-suave) so need BIG help on getting rid of ad popups when I'm on email account!

I love Firefox and until lately (before I had to replace my old STOLEN laptop with a new one) and using Yahoo... I have been plagued with hundreds of popup ads! Don't like GOOGLE... think they may be BIG BROTHER!

HELP (simple instructions only for an 80 year old)!

I cannot figure out what the deal is. Every time I launch Firefox I have to re sign into YouTube. I have tried the following troubleshooting methods after looking it up.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

and whatever else you want.

This is not working I have also disabled all extensions and am still having this issue. It is only with YouTube no other site does this to me.

I am developing a React application with a Flask backend. The Flask backend has a "login" endpoint that sets an authentication cookie that is then supposed to be used to authenticate the end user in future requests to the backend.

After receiving the cookie from the Flask backend, the React app makes a call like so:

```

   const response = await fetch(apiUrl,{
       method: "GET",
       credentials: "same-origin"
   });

```

but Firefox does not include the authentication cookie. I am told this may be because Firefox doesn't store cookies transmitted over HTTPS from localhost.

For obvious reasons, I want Firefox to store the authentication cookie. What can I do to make sure Firefox stores the cookie?

(sorry for bad english) After closing girefox while on window mode, (accidentaly) I reopened it realising none of my accounts were signed in and all websites (youtube, adsense, gmail etc) needed google verification. and they were treating me like i was visiting first time after download. Why is that? Now I have to bring all my data back!!!???!! I am using Windows 8.1 and the latest version of firefox. No other browser installed...
