Can someone please explain what this IAB TCF banner is all about, is it Firefox or ?? It leaves a icon like a painter pallet on the bottom right corner of the screen when closed. It says it collect cookies, has a bunch of boxes to check. I clicked reject all, but it didn't go away. What am I supposed to do with it if it is legit. I'm 80 years old and so so tired. I did a spybot virus scan and nothing turned up. appreciate any help that will ease my weary worried mind.

macOS 26.5.1 Firefox MAC: 151.0.4 (aarch64)

reCAPTCHA keeps re-appearing espcially after I just cleared recent history in firefox mac And I tried a few things but so far no luck.

Does anyone have any idea how to prevent reCAPTCHA ?

Thank you.

When clicking on the shield for some sites the clear cookies and site data is grayed out. Any one know why this is happening?

I can still do this for an individual site by going through the Setttings->Privacy and security->Manage browsing data

Hi,

I'm having an issue with Firefox on Android where some websites keep logging me out after I close the browser or return a few hours later.

I've already checked that cookies are enabled and I'm not using private browsing mode. I also tried clearing the cache and updating Firefox to the latest version, but the problem still happens on multiple sites.

In some cases, I stay logged in normally on Chrome, but Firefox asks me to sign in again almost every time.

Has anyone experienced this recently? Could this be related to cookie settings, tracking protection, or another Firefox feature?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Over the last week or so my personal websites (such as Banking, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) suddenly started asking for (text or email) verification to sign in successfully. This only happens after a restart. (Sometimes I run a 'restart to untangle some glitch - but some Windows updates do a restart automatically.) And I have to go through all the verification stuff again! VERY ANNOYING!! Some MS tech this morning had me uncheck Cookies and other data in the Privacy and security category. But that didn't help. I just did a restart and AGAIN my bank(s) websites asked for a texted CODE. So did Facebook, and Amazon. Once I complete the CODE requirement it stays good until the next restart. And when I went to change that "cookies" option was nowhere to be found (to change it back) In SETTINGS>PRIVACY & SECURITY - NOW shows just the green button and box that says "STANDARD". I don't want or need this annoying added verification on every site that I use daily. I don't know exactly how or when this started...(maybe about a week ago).

I have a site i use frequently I change passwods and then i still cannot log in. they tell me it is because i have disabled their cookies. i use this site and when i chage passwords and till cannot log in iam FRUSTRATED

I am using 147 ESR and when I go to permissions and block all cookies for the site plex.tv the cookies are not blocked. If I go to the URL field and select the lock, it shows "clear cookies and site data" which means the cookies have being accepted.

Why are the cookies accepted from the site when I have set cookies "blocked"

Every time I access my bank's website using Firefox I get a pop-up telling me to "manage online experience". After I "manage" it, it appears on every page I go to on the bank's site (ie. savings account or chequing account etc.) I have white listed several of the pages in Privacy and Security but this has no effect. Obviously I am missing something. Can anyone give me guidance? Thx.

Hi there - a Google search states that FireFox for iOS or iPad OS includes Total Cookie Protection, but I haven't read anything on your website that supports this, nor have I found the feature in FireFox for iPad OS.

Does Mozilla have plans to incorporate TCP into FireFox for iOS, or does Apple prevent this? The feature is so important to me, I may upgrade early to a Mac despite my M1 iPad having plenty of life left.

Thank you.

How can I block Google and other sites from knowing everything I do on Foxfire? Every time I visit anything that has membership Google is there asking to sign me in. I thought Foxfire was supposed to be somewhat private. Thanks!, Mark

google is saying cookies are disabled when using FF to login. This was working Privacy is set to STANDARD and I went into settings and removed google.com as well to no avail.

How do I fix this?

Thanks leon

The most recent Firefox update (145.0) lacks the convenience of easily editing the cookie collection that tells websites about me. The feature I'm referring to was under settings - privacy and security - and then something about cookies. It allowed me to show what sites had collected cookies on me recently and to erase any private data they had collected.

I hope this was an oversight or the feature has simply been moved to another location. If not, I'd really like to roll back the latest update and pause any further updates until the old functionality is restored to the new updates.

Can anybody help me?

I am so confused, i have issue with staying loged in on youtube. I am clearly loged in but when i try to comment it tells me to log in. Also if I put a playlist i log out between tracks. I am not sure if it is firefox or youtube issue, but i am trying to investigate the issue as it is ongoing for a while at this point. Please see attached image.

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.

I have Privacy & Security set to Strict with Cookies and Site Data deleted when the browser is closed with only 3 sites in the exclusion tab. I also use a VPN to assist with masking and for connections to defined systems and as part of that I will randomly set it to different countries 'because I can'.

I was looking at the website for the current Rugby World Cup (https://www.rugbyworldcup.com) but it was showing the wrong times for the matches. A little digging showed it had remembered my location from some point last week when the VPN was active and set to Iceland.

There is nothing I can find in my browser settings to permit this and I would appreciate pointers to check further since one of the reasons I have set the higher level of restrictions in my browser is to stop this kind of activity from websites.
