Hello!,
Please check the below article which includes steps to locate the cookie settings in Firefox :)
Thanks very much for your response, but have seen that and still can't find the place on mozilla firefox where can change settings....I did so a few days ago, but can't find it again now...I turned cookies off etc. and now everywhere I go wants me to verify who I am etc...saves nothing as it use to, but it used to save TOO MUCH!? That's why I tried to stop the cookies, but it appears I needed them!?
You can open the Options page and go to the Privacy & Security tab.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
You can also paste about:preferences#privacy in the location bar to open this page.
Detail like websites remembering you (log you in automatically) is stored in a cookie.
You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you:
- create a cookie allow exception with the proper protocol (https:// or http://) to make a website remember you
You can check that you aren't clearing important cookies.
- using "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" keeps cookies with an allow exception
- using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear cookies clears all cookies including cookies with an allow exception you may want to keep
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Exceptions"
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.
- do not clear the Cookies
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
[X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox
- clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
- clearing "Cookies" will remove all cookies including cookies with an allow exception you may want to keep
Thanks but can't even find options/preferences on their website when I've logged in! :-(
