Firefox Community Forum

Well at least I think it did. Facebook has an issue with scrolling through the feed in my group. I don't know whether there's also a problem on the home feed and also one's timeline. The further one goes back, the more sluggish it becomes and it takes longer to display posts. I'm not sure whether this is a browser issue as I haven't tested on other browsers, or a problem with Facebook pulling stuff out of the drawers in its archives. Maybe it's a memory issue due to all posts needing to be loaded in memory so it's possible to go back up through the feed to the newest one. Anyway, it gets to the stage after going back through hundreds of posts over 6 months, FB stalls. So I tried clearing my history (I have this set to not clear cookies). I then closed FB and Firefox. When I started Firefox again, I had to agree to cookies and sign into all my social media accounts, Google accounts and also agree to cookies on sites I visit regularly. So obviously a glitch in the browser, causing many, if not all cookies to be deleted.

OK so, I just updated Firefox to 115.34 Oesr (64-bit) on my Windows 7 Desktop. Before this update, it's been my practice to clear my cookies manually from unknown websites about 3 times a day, only keeping the "exception" cookies. But, since the update, there have been SOOO many cookies...something like 75 to 100 and EACH time I manually clear the cookies...even just minutes after I clear it and refresh the "Settings" page they appear again. And, the worst of it is that Google won't let me sign into Google websites like Play Store and Google.com search saying that "there has been unusual traffic..." and makes me solve capchas all day long. Other sites too say Unusual traffic like CVS and won't let me sign in either. And now, I'm not using a VPN.

I googled the matter and it was said to be was a known issue with the 115 update and the A.I. said to get rid of the ad blocker as a possible fix but, it didn't work. Have Firefox clear cache and cookies but that didn't work, changing "Tracking Protection" to "Standard". Nothing works. Is there an update fixing this issue? By the way, I have had Firefox set to clear cache and cookies upon closing. But the cookies pile up so quickly again. Thanks for your help

Background: Computer had unexplained shutdowns. Dell tech replaced motherboard and block. Now seems to be working OK.

Problem: I had a small icon on the Navigation Toolbar, not more than an outline. It would delete cookies from a site (generally when I had reached some undefined limit I could then close and return to that website.) This icon may or may not have been a “padlock”. It erased the cookies only from the “active” site. It did not “touch” the logins. I have not been able to recreated this icon or anything that works the same way. In the process of trying to recreate that icon, I apparently have changed how the Firefox Bookmarks Bar works. I used to have 2 rows of Bookmarks Tabs. Each has between 1 and (as many as) 10 Bookmarks. When I start Firefox, all the Bookmarks are fine, but when I select a Bookmark and it opens, all the other Bookmarks disappear. There are only 2 ways to get the Bookmarks back: (1) Close Firefox; (2) Click the left arrow on the Navigation Toolbar (Note: This can be used to “cycle” back and back if any other searching has been done.)

What I want:

    1.)	I want the Bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar to remain and I browse.
    2.)	I would like, if possible, to have an icon that quickly clears cookies in the active site that were added in the active session.

Since changing profiles, which I regret immensely has created a problem when I want to completely clear all history despite choosing the correct settings under privacy and settings. The only box checked the does not clear is the temporary cache files and pages. Even in the menu bar under history and I choose history and clear all history it does not function. I have to manually uncheck the box and check it again and enter clear. This is frustrating, because this has never happened before. FYI, I do not use the AI feature.

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

When I've had trouble signing-in to a commercial website, it often says, "Clear your cache." But in Firefox settings, it looks like clearing it will cause my frequently-used passwords to disappear. Am I reading that correctly? If it's true, how can I clear my cache without losing "remembered" passwords and other log-in information?

I'm not very tech-savvy, so need instructions in very plain, "for dummies" English. Thank you for any help.

When I go to my Firefox browser on my desktop, I have to sign every time to google. I never had to do that until recently. I don't have to do it on my Edge browser or on my Iphone.

I messed up somewhere.
