Hi,

I have a new computer, on which I have installed the last version of Firefox. When I use right click in history, then "forget about this website", it deletes the entry in history, but not the cookies of the website. I already tried to delete the "prefs.js" of the profile, but no success.

Thanks for your help !

The prefs.js file doesn't store cookies. Cookies are stored in cookies.sqlite in the profile folder.

This should be working.

You aren't using Private Browsing mode?

Thanks for your answer.

I am not using Private Browsing mode.

I tried to delete cookies.sqlite, no success either.
