Duckduckgo searching

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.

I cannot get Firefox to accept session cookies. I have my cookies set to standard in the settings. I have also set my permissions to allow cookies from the website where I am trying to view an embedded video. I set the permission by using Ctr-i. When I reload the webpage, for the briefest moment it looks like the video is loading, but then it reverts to "Access Denied".

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I have been a devoted Firefox user for about five years, across both desktop and mobile. I truly love Firefox for its speed, privacy, and customization. However, for the past one to two years, I've encountered a persistent issue on my desktop where Firefox resets unexpectedly. Even though my extensions, passwords, and settings remain, I’m repeatedly logged out of my favorite sites like YouTube, Gmail, and Facebook. Despite reinstalling and troubleshooting, the problem persists. I trust Firefox so much, and I hope you can help me figure out what’s happening so I can continue using it with the same joy I always have.

Thank you so much for your help! Best regards, Md Muhidur Rahman from Bangladesh

Since changing profiles, which I regret immensely has created a problem when I want to completely clear all history despite choosing the correct settings under privacy and settings. The only box checked the does not clear is the temporary cache files and pages. Even in the menu bar under history and I choose history and clear all history it does not function. I have to manually uncheck the box and check it again and enter clear. This is frustrating, because this has never happened before. FYI, I do not use the AI feature.

Previously, each time I logged into Firefox, all my various streaming services and other apps remained logged in. Now, every time Firefox goes to sleep or is re-booted, I have to log back into all the streaming services, Google, Facebook, Yahoo, SideReel, etc. Sometimes this happens several times per day.

Background: Computer had unexplained shutdowns. Dell tech replaced motherboard and block. Now seems to be working OK.

Problem: I had a small icon on the Navigation Toolbar, not more than an outline. It would delete cookies from a site (generally when I had reached some undefined limit I could then close and return to that website.) This icon may or may not have been a “padlock”. It erased the cookies only from the “active” site. It did not “touch” the logins. I have not been able to recreated this icon or anything that works the same way. In the process of trying to recreate that icon, I apparently have changed how the Firefox Bookmarks Bar works. I used to have 2 rows of Bookmarks Tabs. Each has between 1 and (as many as) 10 Bookmarks. When I start Firefox, all the Bookmarks are fine, but when I select a Bookmark and it opens, all the other Bookmarks disappear. There are only 2 ways to get the Bookmarks back: (1) Close Firefox; (2) Click the left arrow on the Navigation Toolbar (Note: This can be used to “cycle” back and back if any other searching has been done.)

What I want:

    1.)	I want the Bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar to remain and I browse.
    2.)	I would like, if possible, to have an icon that quickly clears cookies in the active site that were added in the active session.

I don't really want to disable storage or ALL cookies. But I DO want to COMPLETELY sanitize on shutdown. While this policy is effective AND network.cookie.noPersistentStorage in config has been set True, NEITHER stops Persistent Storage nor cleans it. ONLY manual cleaning (deletion) of persistent storage is available in Settings: Privacy & Security: Manage browsing data. There is no other option available that I can find. One solution suggested a setting that both disallowed cross-site cookies AND isolate other cross-site data but there is no setting like that. There are TWO separate settings for that. Besides, that is not what is wanted.

How can I either completely disable persistent storage - or, more preferred is to completely clear persistent storage upon quitting?!

I have everything else cleared on quitting but persistent storage is indeed persistent. If I have to, I will disable it completely (not preferred) but do NOT want to disable ALL storage use.

Why doesn't network.cookie.noPersistentStorage not work? Or, if it does, what does it actually do?

I would like a policies.json entry for this as I already employ the file in /etc/firefox/policies as described. This is the preferred method for multiple users.

I am using Ubuntu and Firefox Snap for Ubuntu 149.0.2 (64-bit). Let me know if other information is needed. Thank you.

I only cleared the cookie for Blogger and cleared my cache. I was logged out of Facebook, Grok, ChatGPT, Linked in and X and possibly more websites I haven't visited yet. I wasn't logged out of Google I don't think. I don't use Google for logging in anywhere and cookies aren't cleared when I close my browser.
