Please Help - I'm doing something wrong.
Firefox makes me log in to websites when I have saved the password and kept the cookies. Why?
Obviously I don't understand firefox's password procedures.
In my settings my user name and password are saved for specific sites. (others I have set to Never remember)
Password options are set as follows:
Ask to save passwords - ticked
Fill usernames and passwords automatically - ticked
Suggest strong passwords - ticked
Suggest Firefox Relay email masks to protect your email address - ticked
Show alerts about passwords for breached websites - ticked
Require device sign in to fill and manage passwords - not ticked
Use a Primary Password - not ticked
Allow Windows single sign-on for Microsoft, work, and school accounts - not ticked
Cookies and Site Data settings are:
Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed - ticked
In the “Exceptions”/ Exceptions for Cookies and site data option all the web sites which I want to keep and log in automatically are listed with “allow”
In other words, I am trying to delete Cookies by default, but keep them for these specific websites, as an exception.
I therefore expect Firefox to automatically log me into those specific websites when I visit them
So why does Firefox make me log in again every time I visit those specific websites?
