Every site now requires I answer the cookie question every time I open the site. This can be as many as 20 cookies for a given site.

Now every site requires me to answer questions about cookies. Even sites I have used for years. Some site may have as many as 20 cookies to answer. Can I download firefox to correct this and will i loose my bookmarks?

You can change the cookie expire settings from "ask me every time" to "Keep until: I close Firefox"

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"

There are also extensions that allow more precise cookie management.
You can search the Add-ons site to find one that suits you.

Yes I did the clear when I close Fire Fox and that works but I would like to know what happened to the 'Ask Me Every Time" option. Why did it fail?
