Firefox Community Forum

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 am following all the online instructions I can find to turn off private browsing on Firefox - in Privacy and Security by clicking on 'Remember History' for example, and also restarting laptop - but it is not working and I must constantly log back into all my accounts and websites, including my e-mail account. I need assistance with specific and exact instructions how to remove private browsing and explanation why not working what I have already tried. Thank-you for your assistance.

When I go to my Firefox browser on my desktop, I have to sign every time to google. I never had to do that until recently. I don't have to do it on my Edge browser or on my Iphone.

I messed up somewhere.

Although I remain logged in to sites and cookies show in DevTools, the cookies list in settings>privacy>Cookies_and_Site_Data>manage_data shows as empty, no cookies listed.

In troubleshoot mode, the same blank list. I haven't changed any settings. network.cookie.cookieBehavior is set to 1 I'm on windows 10 Home 22H2

The update to 147.0.1 seems to have caused it. Please advise.

(Sorry if I wasted anyone's time. The issue turned out to be my large external monitor for one of my computers. When I was not using it, the smaller laptop screen did not allow all Firefox setting pop-up windows to display fully, so I could not see what I was used to seeing. When I connected it again to my large external monitor, everything was fine. That is why the other computer had no issues.

(So it had nothing to do with Firefox at all, and I am sorry if anyone read my question! Thanks.)

When I click on Privacy & Settings and then Cookies and Site Data and select Clear Browsing Data and the select everything. It does not seem to clear the cache when I select Clear

This is what shows up: Your stored cookies, history, site data, and cache are currently using 108 MB of disk space.

I had expected it to be close to zero.

What's the scoop?

Well at least I think it did. Facebook has an issue with scrolling through the feed in my group. I don't know whether there's also a problem on the home feed and also one's timeline. The further one goes back, the more sluggish it becomes and it takes longer to display posts. I'm not sure whether this is a browser issue as I haven't tested on other browsers, or a problem with Facebook pulling stuff out of the drawers in its archives. Maybe it's a memory issue due to all posts needing to be loaded in memory so it's possible to go back up through the feed to the newest one. Anyway, it gets to the stage after going back through hundreds of posts over 6 months, FB stalls. So I tried clearing my history (I have this set to not clear cookies). I then closed FB and Firefox. When I started Firefox again, I had to agree to cookies and sign into all my social media accounts, Google accounts and also agree to cookies on sites I visit regularly. So obviously a glitch in the browser, causing many, if not all cookies to be deleted.
