Firefox Support Forum

I see a similar question on the forums from March 2021, but I'm having this problem now: when I go into icloud.com, it keeps asking for authentication - i.e. it presents a 6-digit code which goes to my phone/ipad, and I have to put it into the browser. After that, I'm prompted "Do you want to Trust this browser" to which I ALWAYS say "Yes", but it doesn't seem to work; the next day, if I try icloud again, it does it all over, like the "Trust" option is ignored. In settings, "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is unchecked, Clicking "Manage Data" shows that cookies for icloud.com are saved. I've just added icloud.com into Exceptions to Allow to use cookies/site data, though I wouldn't think I'd NEED that if I'm never deleting them. I tried this with Chrome, and the Trust DID work; I can sign in with that browser and not have to put in the code.

What's up with that?

Every time I turn my Laptop on and visit web sites I have to reset my cookie preferences to deny - I have other add-on's such as Privacy Badger, Adblocker, Ghostery, AdBlock Plus. Do I 'need' all of these? I'm a bit paranoid about security but also a tech moron....

How do I set to block all unwanted cookies and KEEP it set?

Many thanks!!

How come when I have only cookies/offline website data checked to clear it still logs me out of websites like Twitter, Twitch, Youtube, etc?

Active logins and Site settings is UNchecked and yet it still logs me out. What is the purpose of those 2 boxes I may be misunderstanding them

Although I allowed google ads (shown in "Not Blocking Tracking Content" list), they are still blocked. Is there a way to fix this? This problem appears on two sites (https://www.agame.com/game/tropical-merge, https://www.games.gr/paixnidia/the-mergest-kingdom) only. Other sites work as they supposed to. ABP is disabled. If I turn Enhanced Protection off, I can see google ads, but I lose any progress I have in these games. Any help would be appreciated.

I just create a website that is providing the Latest Menu in Malaysia (mlymenu.com). I optimize my website Core web vitals but its still slower in Chrome and faster in other browsers. I also clean cache and everything. Even on other deivces too. I think there is some issue still in chrome. You need to update it

Hi,

I'm using WhatsApp Web on the FireFox browser, I can't paste a website URL into the message line.

I can paste anything else - text, images,...

I do not encounter this issue while using WhatsApp Web on Google Chrome.

This is a new issue, I've been working like this for years and it srarted a couple of days ago. I cleared my cache, restarted the laptop and turned off add-ins.

Any ideas? Thanks, Gaby

suddenly Firefox is blocking my entry to a specific site with the measage "Log on error. You need to enable cookies in your browser to logon to Internet Banking." I have tried umpteen ways around this to no avail. Google Chrome does not have this problem!! I am using version 100.0.2

I checked cookies and data recently and noticed this cookie listed about.ef2a7dd5-93bc-417f-a698-142c3116864f.mozilla and I cannot seem to delete it I think it appeared when I accidentally clicked reader view what is it? I tried searching and found a similar question https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1372671 and google search seems to mention tor for some reason any help please?

After an update, cannot use my online banking fully. Get the error: "Why can't I access Bill Pay?" "You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you are using, check you settings for these terms:

• Block third party cookies
• Cookie tracking
• Cross-site tracking

Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-sight trackingis enabled. Follow any additional instructions in your browswer once you have adjusted these settings"

After updating to version 112 from 111.0.1 Firefox keeps forgetting logins and cookie settings on all websites. After closing and reopening the browser I have to sign in again and the websites will ask for cookie permissions.

I tried reverting to 111.0.1 and creating a new profile and it did not have the same issue. I also tried disabling all extensions in version 112, but that did not help.

Every time I would try to log in it would always redirect me to a website that contain only the words "Expected redirect cookie to exist"

It's really annoying because it only happens on Firefox. For some context I just re-installed Windows 11 and I heard from another post that re-installing Windows 11 will help but I do not want to go through the whole process again.

I have already tried:

• Turning off DNS over HTTPS
• Turning Off Proxy
• Clearing Cache and Cookies
• Reinstalling Firefox

No matter what i do this is not working. googled alot but still. my mind at this point hurts been trying to make it work for months , one time it worked but broke again. i also use edge and it works flawlessly there.

So these are my current settings. 1. Enhanced tracking protection - Strict 2. Do not track- only when firefox is set to lock known trackers 3.Cookies and site Data - (ticked) Delete cookies and site data when firefox is closed .

  Manage Exceptions - i wrote github.com, steamcommunity.com, and many more but does not work

4.login and passwords - everything off 5. History- Use Custom settings for history

   (Unticked) Always use private browsing mode, Remember browsing and download history, remember search and form istory

(ticked) Clear history when fiefox closes -- In settings--everything ticked except -- browsing & download history, cookies, site setting, offline website data.

Please help.

Hi,

I am a developer currently working on an open-source solution called GeoNetwork (https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/). This application has a Java backend that uses a JSESSIONID cookie to track user sessions. One instance of the application can be accessed anonymously here: https://sextant.ifremer.fr/Donnees/Catalogue

The session cookie is set on the first request to the backend with the following parameters:

Domain: "sextant.ifremer.fr" expirationDate: "Session" HostOnly: true HttpOnly: true SameSite: "None" Secure: true

This application theoretically allows login in from a different origin. For example from https://www.milieumarinfrance.fr/Acces-aux-donnees/Catalogue, which under the hood points to the same backend. We noticed recently that when accessing the application from a different origin in Firefox, the network requests aimed at the "sextant.ifremer.fr" host *do not carry any existing session cookie*, thus rendering authenticated access impossible.

The existing session cookie is correctly used when I add an "allow" exception for the sextant.ifremer.fr origin in the cookies settings of Firefox (see attached screenshot in French). So I figure that it's Firefox that decides not to use any existing cookie when on this origin.

Is there any way to indicate to Firefox that this cookie is legitimate and that it is needed for essential functionalities, without relying on the user allowing the cookie explicitly?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I am trying to log into an internet backing website, https://www.lloydsbank.com/, and enter my username and password. I know that they are correct because I have changed my password today and saved it in the password manager. The website doesn't log me in, it says that I need to enable cookies. I accessed Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection and it is set to Standard, which should allow cookies. I retried using Help > Troubleshoot Mode which closes and reopens FireFox and I can then log into my bank without problems. I came out of FireFox and went back in, without Troubleshoot Mode and got the "enable cookies" error message again. Can anybody help?

Since last upgrade Firefox seems unable to access any wordpress sites.

Always says to enable cookies. I've done that but still not possible access.

Is Firefox now becoming so "secure" it is useless?

There are more and more web sites where Firefox just is no longer a viable browser.

There is no clear "ENABLE" cookies option to resolve this just pages on explanations about safety yada yada yada.

I just want a button that says ENABLE COOKIES so I don't have to constantly seek answers to use this browser on a particular web site.

As much as I hate Chrome I am finding it more useful now than FireFox

When I go to clear the cache, browsing history, cookies, etc. the only options we have are "Today", a few even smaller time periods (1, 2, 4 hours), or "Everything"! What's up with that? Every other browser offers at least the option of "past 7 days" or some other time period that goes further back than one day, without having to clear "Everything", don't others find this to be arbitrarily limited? I can't even delete cache from yesterday, much less a few days earlier...

I have seven computers and two Gmail accounts. Everything works perfectly except one computer, starting two weeks ago, no longer is able to connect in Outlook 365 to the Google server for sign in. The "One Account. All of Google" window, in what appears to be a browser, just keeps repeating "Enter Email or Phone." It never progresses to the password window.

If I try to recover the account I am told by Google that I need to enable cookies.

The computer where this occurs is running version Firefox v116 with Total Cookie Protection. A similar computer running 115 works perfectly. These two computers have the same version of Microsoft 365 and the same update of Windows 11.

Firefox is the default browser.

I have been trying to troubleshoot this for two weeks. - It is not an account issue. I can easily access my Gmail accounts using browsers on this computer. I can access Gmail through Outlook on all my other computers and my iOS devices. - I have uninstalled my firewall (Bitdefender) and it made no difference. The working and problematic computers have the exact same version of Bitdefender and the firewall settings are identical. I can confirm the firewall is not blocking ports 993 and 465. - The identity files in the registry are identical between working and non-working setups - I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. It still didn't make a difference. - I have tried to downgrade to v115 in Firefox but (1) that is a pain, (2) it didn't seem to make a difference and (3) it automatically updated to v116 anyway. - I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Gmail accounts in Outlook 365 - I have tried creating a new profile in Outlook 365 - I have enabled cookies on all my browsers including Firefox.

Thoughts?

I cannot figure out what the deal is. Every time I launch Firefox I have to re sign into YouTube. I have tried the following troubleshooting methods after looking it up.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

and whatever else you want.

This is not working I have also disabled all extensions and am still having this issue. It is only with YouTube no other site does this to me.
