The page isn't redirecting properly

         Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
       

 This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
   cookies.

Since upgrading to FF17 I get requests for new cookies each and every day - even for websites that I'm surfing on since years, and for which the cookie settings clearly state to accept them automatically (if only session based). Accordingly, these sites have cookies stored in my profile, but FF seems to be no longer able to pick those up.

To me this looks like a bug in the program, as nothing else has changed between running (happily) on FF16 and upgrading to FF17.

Youtube will play on the small player, even load 1080P on the small player, and full screen works fine, but refuses to resize to the large player that takes up about half the screen. It worked just fine until I had to reinstall Firefox due to some other bug that is now fixed.

Previous versions of FF allowed you to select individual cookies that wouldn't be deleted when FF closed. This meant you wouldn't have to log in to your favorite sites each time you opened FF; - you'd already be logged in. Later versions of FF no longer have this functionality. However, IE and Safari both do have this functionality. For example, I used to be able to keep my google cookies and browse straight into google reader after the browser opened. Now I always have to login. Does anyone know if the functionality will be restored to FF? The current lack of versatile cookie settings is a hindrance to efficiency.

(PS. Cor-el, please don't answer as you're wrong on this. The key messages are that FF used to have this functionality and plenty of other users agree, and IE and Safari still have it so go and check it yourself, and it has nothing to do with Clear Recent History.) Thanks all. :)

Firefox suddenly stopped working with Mac OS 10.6.8- keeps blocking even Safari- will jot download , open pdf file downloads-- wasted a lot of time of several University experts- we can't locate work out why- x3 quit everything, download, reinstalled twice, machine switch on/off- something seriously wrong and wasting alot of time. It had been working faultless for years- recently iMAC 1TB disc was changed by Apple under their programme of exchange for 'free'- it has not worked since!!!! Many thanks

With firefox 17.0 Norton 360 does not pick up tracking cookies that were picked up with firefox 16.0.2. Uninstalled 17.0 and and reinstalled 16.0.2 - tracking cookies are picked up - updated to 17.0 and again no tracking cookies. I did not see anything in release note that would seem to reflect this situation. asked this question at 08:57 PST 11/29/2012 and the reply stated that Norton 360 should still be able to remove tracking cookies. WELL IT DOES NOT - WHAT HAS CHANGED FROM 16.0.2 TO 17.0 THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. IS THIS A NEW BUG? The first reply did not answer my question however it was marked as "solved". I have rolled back to 16.0.2 and updated to 17.0 twice and the same thing has happened both times.

Some websites keep asking to enable cookies in my browser when they are and I can't get this sites to see that, they worked fine yesterday but not now. I've restarted the browser, restarted the computer, disabled then enabled cookies in the privacy settings and still nothing. Any help?

Since yesterday i can´t enter on my MAIL account, on my Facebook account, and i can´t do some kind of downloads that use the servers "Turbobit" and "Bitshare"... anyway i saw my configurations in the browser and i think that everything is ok... After that i made a restoration system without any result.... But i can say that a moth ago i had Chrome installed and i quit it because i had a similar error...so what can it be?

Thanks for your time =)

I cannot access internet by using FireFox (Last version), IE, Chrome. Initially, I received a message "...cookies functionality is turn off, please turn it on..." In addition, I tried to clearing all history data, as well as reinstall, but it still not worked.

Could anyone help me to solve it?

i'm looking for the cookie exception list that seems to have moved in later versions. I'm having trouble with Facebook and yahoo mail in that Firefox is showing those sites in frames. If I reset Firefox it works fine, but I am tiring of resetting it twice a day to read my email. It was suggested to add these sites to the cookies exception list - except that it's not where it used to be.

Is there an extension, add-on, or facet of Firefox that would enable me to prevent a site from placing a certain cookie in my computer whilst allowing me to keep the rest of the cookies from that site?

Because Youtube's new layout is terrible, there's a cookie that's responsible for it, and I can't get rid of it without being logged out or it just adds it back in.

i know this question has been asked before, but i need to know if there's a way to enable particular extension (if firefox have made this feature)? i want to enable some cookies at startup and remove others when i close firefox but i can't do this in private browsing. is there anyway to enable the extension or at least remove the "start private browsing" tab?

I must use FIREFOX to access DISH TV ON LINE by their rules and now your server says that the re-direct is impossible to work the way it is functioning....what can I do to fix this problem please?
