About once a week Firefox will 'reset' its self. I will open it up and it will have logged me out and ask to go through the setup process (almost like its just reinstalled). Webpages wont open. Only way to fix it is to open troubleshoot mode and follow the refresh option. Cant find any reason its doing this.

Here's my question.

I am well versed with, and frequently use the Manage Data tool in Cookies and Site Data to remove bothersome cookies, particularly from sites like news sites that will throw you a few "bones" of articles without mandating a subscription before requiring one to continue to use view the site.

I took a hard look at the Manage Exceptions option next to the check box that will Delete Cookies and Site Data when Firefox is closed, but requires that I'd have to input a hundred sites that I want to retain the cookies for manually, in order to avoid potentially loosing any credentials or site data.

Which brings me to my question, kind of the reverse of the steps you use to both delete cookies and Manage Exceptions. Rather than going one by one with Manual entry of each site that you want to retain site data and cookies for, why not generate/provide a list, populated the way the Manage Data function works. And then, let the user just select the exceptions to auto cookie deletion when you close Firefox?

Firefox has recently started requesting me to sign in after every login to my laptop. I am unaware of any action on my part that may have prompted this. I wish to remain logged in: How do I ensure this?

I had this issue a few months ago but it then seemed to resolve itself. Now it's back.

I use passkey on a few sites like Google, Youtube, Hubspot... every time I attempt to use passkey on such sites Firefox locks up and I can't select anything on the page, a different tab. It just completely locks up and I have to restart it.

I always deselect cookies.

I don't have this issue on Safari so it is the only way I have to deal with this issue.

Hi,

In some websites, a cookies menu opens over the page but not as a popup eg https://www.elexon.co.uk/knowledgebase/about-the-bsc/

In Chrome, I can see the menu and make the relevant cookies choice and then access the site, but in firefox the whole page is effectively greyed out. As it isn't a popup I can't whitelist the site for popups (well I can but it doesn't change anything).

Any ideas how I can make this work without having to use the site in a different browser?

Thanks

Unable to access some of my accounts. Firefox is blocking pop-ups Block third party cookies, Cookie tracking, Cross site tracking Something is different and I need help to fix these issues.

I watch videos on dropout.tv which uses the Vimeo SDK as their player for the videos. After switching to Firefox, the video progress has consistently started from where I left off on Chrome. The site doesn't remember where I ended the video when I watch it on Firefox. I assume this has to do with the cookies, but I've manually added "dropout.tv" to the list of exceptions in Firefox settings so that that site is always allowed to store cookies.

Returning briefly to Chrome, the player immediately tracked my progress again, so the issue is definitely related to Firefox somehow.

Firefox browser briefly showed a notification that a different domain was being used in the cookie opt-out process during a secure session on my bank's website. That domain is evidon.com. Does Firefox use Evidon sofware?

I have tried EVERY suggested fix for viewing Kaltura videos in the FireFox browser. NOTHING works! I refuse to use Google (they know enough about everyone as it is) and Edge works but I do not care for it.

Can't be that freakin hard to allow the viewing of Kaltura lecture videos posted by professors in an application that is used by many educational institutions across the country. Google and Edge seem to have figured it out so why can't Mozilla?

This issue needs to be fixed!
