Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

Just recently I've noticed that cookies from websites other than Google (e.g yahoo, etc) are not showing up in my privacy settings anymore. I was wondering why?

I have the "Tell websites I do not want to be tracked" checked (had this before as well). But before, I was still able to see the cookies from every site I've been too. Now only google's cookies show up even though I've been to other sites and able to log in to them

I thought that all expired cookies should be deleted automatically by the browser. but that is not the way it happens in my Firefox (same behaviour for different web-sites).

closing Firefox and even reboot of the computer don't help. the only way to remove expired cookies from Firefox is: by hand (which means I have to choose cookie in Privacy Tab of Firefox Options and press button 'Delete cookie').

well, the good news: expired cookies are ignored by the servers (tested with user script through my virtual server) but for unknown reason still continue to be stored idle in Firefox.

Is that the way it should work?

As of today, February 9, 2015 I am unable to connect to my Verizon Fios home page. When I click on the Firefox icon to open the browser, my bookmarks appear, etc. bit it will not connect to My Verizon home page. I am able to go to all the web sites that I want to but I cannot connect to Verizon. I called Verizon but they weren't able to help me, unfortunately. I hope that someone here will be able explain how to resolve this.

I tried using Google Chrome and was able to connect to Verizon's Email and News, therefore, I presume that this is a problem with Mozilla Firefox.

Thank you.

Ok I've made a previous post that lead to no actual help that fixed the problem. I've had this issue in the past and the fix for that issue fixed this same problem then but isn't now.

I keep getting logged out of sites sometimes while I'm there typing a message on facebook or a forum so when I try to post it says I must login after I already logged in. This is a severe PITA! I've uninstalled completely with removing all folders etc about 3-4 times now and the problem keeps coming back shortly after reinstalling. If this problem doesn't get fixed I'm done with FF.

This problem started after I did a fresh reload of my computer. The browser also keeps resetting my location to somewhere 20-30 miles away which is also a PITA when trying to check store inventory etc.

It would be great if Mozilla actually had a contact us email instead of the forums because this problem isn't getting any better and the help I've received so far has not even put a nudge in the problem.

I have a cookie I can't account for, t8wr8l5d5ra.goip.de that comes back every time I delete it from "Manage Cookie and Site Data", and I was wondering what I should do about it? Thank you.

Hello,

I use Firefox 35.0.1. I set up the options to never keep the cookies.

The issue : I log on an Exchange webmail. I read my emails. I log off from the Exchange webmail. I go back to the mail page of the webmail, and I am logged in !

Other test : I log on an Exchange webmail. I read my emails. I log off from the Exchange webmail. I close Firefox. I re open firefox, I go back to the mail page of the webmail, and I have to enter my credentials (that is normal)

Other test : I log on an Exchange webmail. I read my emails. I log off from the Exchange webmail. I force Firefox to remove the cookies, but I keep Firefox opened. I go back to the mail page of the webmail, and I have to enter my credentials (that is normal)

Other test : I tried to reproduce the issue with another Internet Browser (the "e" one). I log on an Exchange webmail. I read my emails. I log off from the Exchange webmail. I go back to the mail page of the webmail, and I have to enter my credentials.

So, it seems not to be a webmail configuration, as another browser behaves normally.

Is there something that i have not thought about ?

Thank you for your help

So I reset firefox after it suggested it'd been running slowly, it had been, said passwords, book marks and such would all be saved so I did this, went straight back on and everything seemed fine accept that my new tab pages had been reset to new, but this seemed fine considering bookmarks and passwords were all still there. Come on today and it's applying updates to the plugins, it starts out half fill and after a few mins is still stuck at half so I close it, silly of me perhaps, then load up firefox and it works fine until my homepage is Miniclips... It hasn't been that for a good few years, my bookmarks have also returned to what they were a few years ago, potentially passwords might've as well e.g. all current passwords are lost.

I am new to the forum have posted one question already but now I have discovered another problem. I can't sign out of Mozilla Support. This just started happening today and the only way I can sign out is if I clear the cookies. I have already tried safe mode for Firefox but that didn't work and I can sign out in a different browser like Google Chrome. I am allowing cookies but blocking third party cookies.

If anyone gots any suggestions please help and Thanks in advance.

When I try to login to my Outlook or Microsoft account I get a message that says " cookies must be accepted please enable cookies".

 Cookies are enabled exactly like Microsoft wants but I still cannot login

There's a strange cookie with a long hexadecimal name that keeps showing up in my CCleaner cookies list (see image).

The cookie shows up a few seconds after I launch Firefox, even before I visit any sites. When I run CCleaner, the cookie goes away, but it comes back again the next time I launch Firefox. CCleaner shows the Firefox icon at the bottom of the cookie windows, but, oddly, the cookie does not appear in the cookies list in Firefox settings.

What is this strange cookie, and how do I make it go away?

Firefox 63.0...when shutting down cookies/storage is not being automatically removed. Further, when reviewing the Preferences page, trying to delete cookies from there does not work either.

However, clicking on "History" in the Menu bar and then removing history from there DOES work.

Clearly this is not right.

FYI, I have read many possible solutions and have found nothing that works. I have tried using a fresh Profile and have just done a complete uninstall/re-install and the problem still persists.

I would appreciate a solution to this but it looks like a "bug" to me.

I have consciously transitioned from Chrome to FF for Privacy reasons, but find myself with a problem now. When i close the browser i have set it to delete all the cookies. I want however to make exceptions for certain sites like i did with Chrome so that when i go back to LinkedIn or YouTube i don't have to go through the 2-step login process which is quite annoying if you have to do that multiple times per day as you can imagine. not having been able to find a definite answer on how to do that (yes, i did read multiple support articles) i turn to you to for help Is there a whitelist option to handle exceptions per domain for deleting cookies?

i have done everything listed here so many times and nothing is fixing this. Made sure cookies were enabled, cleared cache and cookies, made sure Gmail was approved in security settings, and then as a last ditch effort, I disabled all add-ons for Firefox and still no Gmail... I was so desperate that I even re-installed ff-19 and still cannot get into my email account. What is going on here? Any help or small nudge in the correct direction would be much appreciated!

It appears that most sites get my location from Mozilla Firefox. It is constantly incorrect and moves around. Today it was someplace in Texas and I live in Ohio. This is a desktop computer and doesn't move. I have set it on several sites and I don't delete my cookies but somewhere along the line it gets changed. It appears it gets changed in my Mozilla Firefox. I know you go off the dsl location or something but it just doesn't work. Even when it gets me in Ohio it's constantly a different city. How can I get a permanent location in Mozilla Firefox or disable the location finder in Mozilla Firefox?

When I go to any website the cookies for the website are automatically allowed. I no longer have the ability to 'allow', 'allow for session', or block a cookie when I first go to a website. I used to be able to do so.

Tools->Options->Privacy->History is set to 'use custom settings for history'. I've never allowed third party cookies.

This has happened on 6 XP PCs. I hope this is not an 'enhancement'.

As annoying as it may have been at times the option (ask every time) afforded by Firefox is one of the main reasons I have used this browser for so long. I learned many years ago that careful control and editing of cookies contributes greatly to the health of my computers. For instance I still use a box with Win2000Pro and Firefox for certain functions. Had I know the latest version had dropped the option I would not have allowed the update. I was suspect when several web launches from emails did not open the dialog today. As of now I have yet to see any explanation from Mozilla as to why this feature was omitted and have to side with some uses about possibly looking for another non IE option. A shame for as stated above my loyalty has been with FF for quite some time.

Feeling very very frustrated. I haven't deleted my history, cookies or cache in probably a year or more. I've now deleted just the cookies and cache (over 1gb worth) and everytime I go to a website, I have to keep signing back in to those accounts. The accounts are NOT saving my login details.

My location in eBay keeps changing. It doesn't matter how many times I change it just resets to an old postcode. I removed this address from my eBay account, and I've cleared cookies in Mozilla but it keeps resetting. I've tried signing out of my Mozilla account and reinstalling Mozilla but it is still doing it. I'm pretty sure that Mozilla has stored the address somewhere but I have no idea how to get rid of it. It's been like this for two years now.

Thanks.

I am very keen to avoid cookies being stored on my computer and have checked the box that says "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed". I have no "Exceptions". I also have "Strict" tracking protection - again, with no Exceptions. Yet when I open a particular bookmarked website (www.bikemap.net), Firefox displays the page showing the bike route from my street to my friend's house that I looked at weeks ago. This even happens when I open the site in a New Private Window. I am baffled as to why this is happening and what I need to do to stop it. Can you help, please? Thanks.
