Firefox Community Forum

I always delete ALL browsing data every time after using the internet. However, when I next go to use it there is a whole load more kB under "temporary cached files and pages". This usually happens overnight, but has also happened in the daytime. Why would this be? Does it mean someone has gained access to my laptop? Now more concerned as have had fraudulent use of my bank card today.

Non-technical language answers please!

I keep getting a message when loggin into my gmail account to enable cookies. I'm using firefox so I assume that's where it want cookies enabled but I don't find a setting for it

Every time I select Gmail on Firefox page, it requires me to sign in with a code. I have selected 'Strict' for browser privacy and 'Clear history after closing Firefox'... plus a number of other settings. I then get a notice of someone signing into my account each time, as does the person who I use as a backup to my account. I'd like not to go through that each time I access my Gmail account.

Thanks for the help.

Hello. I've got a simple suggestion.

When we go to "manage data" in settings. We can only remove a particular cookie, or all cookies from websites. I would love for there to be a block feature there.

The only way to do so now is by going to "manage exceptions" and typing out the URL manually. I'm finding certain URLs becoming more and more tedious to type out. I feel this would really help. Perhaps they could merge "manage data" and "manage exceptions" together and just put all the features in one place.

We've got all kinds of great extensions that can cut down on the annoying cookies and pop ups but I still feel this would be helpful.

I have 2 different bookmarks. 1 for Citi Card Visa & ! for Citi Card MC. Both take me to the same online screen. Can "cookies" or something similar in Firefox be causing this and can I fix it. Citi Card techs can't help!

Before closing Firefox, I go to: Privacy and Security, Clear data for specific sites, remove the sites I don't want. Then I go to Clear Browsing Data and check two boxes: clear Browsing and download history and Temporary cached files.

In spite of that, I see 50 - 100 MB in Google. I don't want that.

Therefore, I went to the Manage Exceptions list and added all the sites that I want to keep cookies and site data. I checked Save Changes. (Google is included in that list.)

However, if I return to Clear Browsing Data & Cookies, check Cookies & Site Data, then Clear, Firefox deletes all the sites stored in Managed Exceptions, too. It's not supposed to do that.

Questions: 1. How do I prevent that from happening? 2. Should I remove Google from Managed Exceptions list?

Please advise. Collis

When I put my laptop to sleep, websites I am logged into are often logged out when I return. Note that I don't close Firefox. The tabs generally reopen but require login again. Windows 11, Firefox 137.0.1

For example, I put my laptop to sleep for lunch. When I returned, tabs were there, but I was logged out of gmail, Discord, and a website I was logged into.

This seems to happen more frequently recently, but not every time, as far as I know. But this is a relatively new problem, possibly related to a new laptop. Occasionally I get a message that there is trouble restoring my session.
