I've searched and I'm 99% sure there noting to do other then 3rd party extensions which I don't want to do. After recent months of ESR update, the legacy clear history menu is no longer available (I know they removed it).

Well the cookies and site data used to be separated so I could clear history and not be logged out of Microsoft email account.

Now I have to un-check cookies/site data along with site settings. I tried adding allow to the exceptions in settings but that still cleared the cookies/site data. After some research, it seems ONLY when you select delete history on close, that's the only time it respects the allow list in exceptions.

I guess this is more of a suggestion. Would be nice if the standard clear history wouldn't clear whatever website that is in the exceptions allow list for cookies/site data.

Thanks.

I was was reviewing my FF settings to help a friend mimic some of my privacy and autoplay options (including settings in about:config regarding animations, autoplay, media, video, etc), and without deliberately changing anything related to my cookies permissions, I somehow messed them up my daily logins. I clear cookies and browsing data when I close the browser, but allow a half-dozen trusted sites only to keep their cookies. Despite my best attempt to save them as exceptions under

Settings > Privacy and security > Browsing data > Manage exceptions

I now have to login every time. Trying to figure out what I changed--or a helpful cat may have changed while walking across the keyboard and interrupting--and how to change it back. I've been reviewing the support articles but can't find my answer.

FF 160.0b5, MacOS 26.7.1

I may be slow in responding because I'll be away from this computer for the rest of the day, but I really appreciate tips on how to navigate this again.

When I have "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox" option checked, does that also clear the sites that I have added to the "Manage exceptions" option? I had added a few sites to that dialog box and clicked "save changes" and the next time I launched Firefox ans went to add a site to the exception that list was blank. Why? Is having the "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox" option set also clear that exceptions list when Firefox closes?

How would I set up Firefox to clear all the cookies except for the sites I had put into the "Manage exceptions" dialog box?

For the last several weeks, one of my computers when it updated to the new settings menu (version 156ish?), it has lost the ability to maintain some of the synced profile settings. For example, I have a couple websites that I list in the exceptions to not have Firefox clear the cookies, and I additionally have the clear cookies and site data check box enabled so that every other website I visit clears upon exiting. This is the setting combination I have utilized for years to keep the cookies from only 2 websites and clear out everything else.

On one of my computers, I'm able to add the exception, and as long as I do not close Firefox, the website exception settings stick. However, as soon as I exit Firefox, and open it back up, the settings clear themselves again, and I have to manually enter the exceptions again. This is very frustrating because one of the sites that I keep the cookies on the exception list has multiple different logins saved so that I don't have to manually re-login to every time I open Firefox.

I have attempted a refresh, and that did not fix the problem. I have fully uninstalled Firefox, manually deleted the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\ folder contents, reinstalled foxfire and this too does not fix the problem.

The weirdest part of this whole issue is my laptop, does not have this problem and the exceptions are sticking so I know that this setting combo works. Additionally, I have tried unchecking the clear cookies and site data box and this too is not allowing the exceptions to stick.

I have also tried re-syncing my account to pull the settings from my laptop and this too is not working.

This experience is on Firefox 157.0.1 (64-bit), Windows 11 Pro 26H2

Thanks for your time and please advise as to how to fix.

For the past two weeks and more I've had difficulty getting access to my Yahoo e-mail accounts. I've also noticed that Firefox is updating more and more, sometimes days in a row. Yahoo says the problem might be with the way Firefox handles my account. After spending yet more time with them this morning, this is the suggestion they give:

   "Yahoo may prompt you to change your password if cookies are blocked or deleted, or if your browser is set to clear cookies every time you log off. This makes Yahoo treat each sign-in as a new session and triggers extra security steps, even if your password is strong.
   To help reduce these prompts:
       Make sure Firefox is set to accept cookies from Yahoo. Here’s how: Enable cookies in Firefox
       Try keeping cookies between sessions instead of clearing them every time you log off.

I don't know how to do enable Yahoo cookies. :-( Being unable to access my e-mail is a serious matter for me. I've used about a dozen new passwords in just a couple of weeks and am frustrated beyond words. This has never happened to me before. Help, please!

I have 'Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox' enabled. In the list of exceptions, I have many website listed, most of which work (such as 'crucnyroll.com'), however I am having issues with certain sites, in this case 'bandcamp.com' and 'the-trackr.com'. When closing and reopening Firefox, the rest of my Exceptions retain Cookies and Site data fine, but these two websites specifically seem to ignore the rule. I have tried disabling all my extensions, changing settings around, and reading through the 'about:config' page but couldn't find anything which would resolve this issue. I have things setup this way to prevent tracking from random forums, blog posts and the kind, but can only seem to resolve this issue by re-enabling cookies for all websites. Any and all help is appreciated, and thank you in advance.

Hi, I am on Firefox 159.0 and I am having troubles with cookies being cleared on sites that I have allowed under Privacy and Security > Browsing data > Managing exceptions and Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox. I have GitHub ("https://github.com") allowed in the exceptions and if I restart Firefox after signing in, then I am logged out of GitHub. Is there any way to fix this?

I thought this was for the active site, but, from my experience, after being logged out of other sites, does it actually clear for all tabs? Why do they make this so ambiguous?

Is there a simple way to get this done, for the active site only, without adding an extension?

Is this for the active site only? It's a bit ambiguous. When i use it, is it just coincidental that i have to re-log into other sites, as well as Mozilla?

Is there a simple way to do this without adding an extension?

Where is the access to cookies in the Firefox settings. I need to delete the cookies for a particular site in order to update my account documentation on that site.
