is anyone else upset that firefox no longer actually deletes all cookies even though they say they do?
you have to delete over 5 times to get history and cookies to clear. Selecting "everything" never removes everything :( Used to be the best for privacy now its seemingly deceptive..

Can you elaborate a bit more, or upload before/after screen shots? Are you saying that you're unable to purge "Cookies and site data" to "0 bytes"? Have you tried checking via the settings site data pane to see which domains from the list apparently stuck around?
sure. first a screenshot of what it says after i have browsed for awhile (with strict browsing selected even) then after deleting browsing data once, then after deleting twice, then after deleting the THIRD TIME!!! and its super deceptive because if you choose to delete browsing data for lets say the last hour or the last two hour options, or since 12 am, it will say zero cookies left but then you go to 'delete everything' and find there's all kinds of cookies still there and they stay no matter how many times you click 'delete browsing data'.
it happens even when i select delete site settings preferences
but then you go to 'delete everything' and find there's all kinds of cookies still there and they stay no matter how many times you click 'delete browsing data'.
You say the cookies are there but none of your screenshots show any cookies ...
oh you're right amoun, the problem was that i worded my response wrong
"unable to purge "Cookies and site data" to "0 bytes"
big fat eye roll
Third time the charm. Your "Cookies and site data" show "0 bytes" in all the screenshots.
Did you find any when you went into the per–site partitioned data panel? Or how you can tell some were not removed?
Please draw in your screen shots if necessary.
It still shows its retaining temporary cached files and pages info even though i have selected clear EVERYTHING!
I realize that i can get it to clear almost everything if i do it 5 to 10 times but that was never my question. The original question i posed is "is anyone else upset that firefox no longer actually deletes...." What used to be a trustworthy company is now just like all the others and what's even worse is that every time i open this page it also gives itself the ability to use cross site cookies even though i have never allowed that and chose 'enhanced tracking protection' !!! I am looking for a different browser that actually doesnt track me and store info when i say not to.
