Firefox Community Forum

In Firefox, I have several windows open, each with many tabs. (And BTW, I love the Firefox tab-organization feature.) I would like to empty the cache and delete all cookies. Will that close the open tabs? Is there a way to delete the cookies, empty the cache and preserve all windows & tabs?

      Thank you!

Every time Microsoft updates my computer, or I shut it down and restart it, all the sites I use regularly do not recognize my computer and require me to identify myself (plus giving me messages that I am logging in from an unknown computer). What can I do to stop this?

This is a weird one and I'm hoping there's a reassuring explanation.

I had Firefox and Sumatra PDF open, nothing else on Win 10.

I switched from Sumatra to Firefox (1 tab open), searched for something, and Firefox froze, and after a while Windows gave me an option to terminate the non-responsive program, which I did, and Firefox closed.

But the hard disk was active 100% afterwards, and everything slowed to a crawl, and I couldn't even get the Task Manager to open, so I did what I haven't done in many ages, killed the power. (Experience tells me a memory leak.)

After the restart Firefox opened, a bit slowly, to the last open tab. Browsed a bit. All is fine. Closed Firefox, opened it again, and now I'm logged out of every website, including the saved preferences, e.g. of Wikipedia.

It's worth pointing out that I closed Sumatra just fine, but it too lost the history (it remembers which page I last viewed for the opened documents).

Since Firefox was the one to freeze, and to work fine afterwards, logged in and all, then lose all after opening it again, I'm not sure what happened, and if there's anything I can do.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but basically:

Is that expected after a freeze/recovery?

A website I want to get on is not letting me sign in. It says the cookies are redirected in an improper way. Trying to figure out how to change cookie settings for a particular site.

I have FireFox set up to reset every time I start a new session which causes DuckDuckGo's AI search to reset every time. Does anyone know how I can set it so it doesn't do that? It's annoying always having to disable to every time I open a new session.

Why is "Delete cookies and Site Data when Firefox is closed" checked and grayed out for me?

Everytime I open the FF browser I have to relog into everything, I didn't change any settings either, it just started doing this....

I manually clear all youtube cookies. I have these youtube exceptions. After going to youtube, then checking "Manage Cookies and Site Data" I still see Firefox saved a youtube cookie.

Thank you

I have the current version of Firefox browser. Every time I clear the browsing history, I am being logged out of my Google and Microsoft accounts, which is forcing me to go through the tedious 2-step verification process to log back in. This was not occuring before. Please fix this annoying and time consuming bug!
