Hi,

If i understand correctly, firefox has total cookie protection enabled by default i.e. cookies are not shared among sites. I can see partition key is being set for the cookies which helps in maintaining cookie jars.

I am just curious to know if these cookie jars exist for firefox extensions also? For example, from a specific add-on if a certain cookie is set for demo.com then i dont see any partition key associated with it. Does this violate total cookie protection? And is this a bug or a special feature that firefox extensions can utilize?

On ubuntu oracular 24.10, when firefox is launched, it tries to open a UDP listening port on all network interfaces which is not acceptable on many levels:

/usr/bin/netstat -tunpevaW|grep firefox udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:48654 0.0.0.0:* 1000 881247 178766/firefox

Is this behavior specific to Ubuntu or is it implemented by design? This must be a no go by design: if it needs a UDP port for some reason, it has to open it on the **loopback interface (127.0.0.1)** only.

I can't find a place to control third party cookies in the Security section. I used to be able to donate on my church's website but now it doesn't work. I tried doing it with Microsoft Edge and it worked fine. I hate to erase all my history and cookies because it takes away log-in info on my regular websites. Any ideas? Thanks for your help Terri

For the past few days, I keep getting logged off of my Firefox account each time I start up Firefox, a problem that has only began happening since going to a new computer. From what I could tell, the issue was not over from the computer, so I am wondering what the issue can be with Firefox.

Would like help at this as soon as possible. Thank you very much.
