Firefox Community Forum

Hi, Today I discovered that firefox has logged me out of every site. I checked the cookies and there were cookies.sqlite and cookies.sqlite.bak. When I delete the newly created cookies.sqlite and rename cookies.sqlite.bak to cookies.sqlite, I am logged back in to all sites and everything works fine. I notice that the cookies.sqlite.bak file is created when I go to twitch.tv. Can I check what is causing this problem and fix it somehow? I've already tried deleting the cookies just from the twitch.tv site, but that doesn't help.

Hello,

I recently deleted pwnedpasswords.com from my cookies, as well as blocked this website; however, it keeps reappearing in my list of cookies.

I've never even visited this site (that I'm aware of), and it's a bit concerning to me.

In spite of clearing ALL my cookies (and blocking this website), it keeps appearing in my list!

Please advise :)

Good morning I would like to ask how to configure (set) the Firefox browser on a computer with Windows 10 so that when clearing cookies and history, cookies and login data that have been added to exceptions are not cleared (deleted) when closing the browser: How this setting should be done (what options are selected) Privacy and security - clearing history when closing the browser Privacy and security - deletion of cookies and site data on closing (exceptions - allow) Please reply Regards Zbigniew M zbigniew14@gmail.com

I use CCleaner>Options>Cookies to save cookies in certain containers. I see that Firefox uses userContextId to specify a container. Where can I find which userContextId NUMBER is assigned to which container NAME?

Hello,

Since Firefox v142, the website I develop has been having trouble with the Firefox browser. It works fine most of the time, but occasionally Firefox will not send all of the cookies that are set for the domain. This is causing users to appear unauthenticated, and is causing errors because critical information isn't being set.

I wanted to see if this is something that was a setting that could be resolved before I reported it as a bug.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks.

Why do I have to re-register with my banking website to remember my settings in order to not need two-factor authentication? I have selected in Preferences/settings for that website's cookies, etc, to be retained in Firefox.

On ubuntu oracular 24.10, when firefox is launched, it tries to open a UDP listening port on all network interfaces which is not acceptable on many levels:

/usr/bin/netstat -tunpevaW|grep firefox udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:48654 0.0.0.0:* 1000 881247 178766/firefox

Is this behavior specific to Ubuntu or is it implemented by design? This must be a no go by design: if it needs a UDP port for some reason, it has to open it on the **loopback interface (127.0.0.1)** only.

Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS Firefox 123.0 (64-bit)

The browser deletes cookies when closed. Every time I log in, I need to re-enter passwords (they are saved) on all sites, this is certainly tiring. I read about a similar problem from other users, they had the “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” setting enabled, but I didn’t.

I can't find a place to control third party cookies in the Security section. I used to be able to donate on my church's website but now it doesn't work. I tried doing it with Microsoft Edge and it worked fine. I hate to erase all my history and cookies because it takes away log-in info on my regular websites. Any ideas? Thanks for your help Terri

Hi,

If i understand correctly, firefox has total cookie protection enabled by default i.e. cookies are not shared among sites. I can see partition key is being set for the cookies which helps in maintaining cookie jars.

I am just curious to know if these cookie jars exist for firefox extensions also? For example, from a specific add-on if a certain cookie is set for demo.com then i dont see any partition key associated with it. Does this violate total cookie protection? And is this a bug or a special feature that firefox extensions can utilize?

I want to enable cookies for outlook and google, the rest I dont want.

I have attempted to look at the cookie's url for outlook and add that to the exception list, but outlook still harasses me with its annoying 2fa

How do I find the actual address to put in the exceptions list to stop this issue?

Hello, Firefox keeps signing me out of Google websites like google.com and youtube.com when I close out the browser. I recently switched from Google Chrome and was wondering if this was a Google issue or if it was Firefox. It only keeps me signed out of Google accounts, and keeps me signed in for every other website. I have the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" box unchecked and it still keeps me logged out, and I have "cookied" unboxed in my Clear History settings as well. I'd like to have this issue fixed as soon as possible for school-related reasons.

I have been using firefox for years. I have made no changes to settings. I got a blue screen yesterday and after that firefox keeps logging me off of everything I close it. I have tried about:preferences#privacy then going to History and clear history when firefox closes and only selecting cache. Does not work. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox twice but i think it does not delete everyhing. I still have access to history after the reinstall.
