Firefox — Fora społeczności

I am using firefox on linux since ~10 years. Currently running latest FF on Kubuntu. I always had setting set to forget all cookies and session details except of search history on exit.

Since approx 2-3 weeks (latest update?) those settings don't work. FF remembers everything regardless of settings I chose.

Does anyone have idea why this is happening now and how to fix it?

Sometimes, after restarts, FF forgets every site I'm logged into. Open tabs persist, the login sessions do not. I have no better observation of when this happens, I'm afraid - it's not every time. Because of this it's very hard to reproduce reliably - over the past 2 weeks, it didn't happen and now it was 2 days in a row. "Clear cookies and site data" is definitely off. I have no extensions apart from Dark Reader and uBlock. Because my daily work requires me to use a dozen sites I have to log into, all using 2FA, this is incredibly annoying. I have also completely reset my profile, which did help for a while but then it started again - so I'm thinking the profile reset was more of a coincidence than actual causality.

I don't know how to fix this in Firefox.

Unsure if this is correct category... Years ago when Firefox was in it's infancy - Firefox settings used to allow much more power/control over cookies & how you deleted them. You could actually display & select individually ones you wanted to delete. Now Firefox has it's own Interface 'utility' and only allows you to delete 'groups' of cookies based on their App name. I was looking for the location / name of the dataset which is used to store cookies - so I could delete them more finely. Or is this in some sort of special format which is ONLY accessible thru Settings. I see MANY Cookie add-ons, mostly dealing with auto-responding to cookie prompts. Actually as of this writing - I am trying one of these.

I am having the same problem as this fixed one, a year later: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1468647 As soon as I try to connect to an account via Google, or go to Gmail/Docs/Drive/Classroom, I'm always taken to a “Clear cache and delete cookies” page. So I followed the instructions on the page, deleted all my data and saved cookies from Firefox and even tried to reinstall Firefox completely, but nothing changed, I'm always redirected to this page. Logging in when in incognito mode works fine though.

Firefox version 144.0.2 MacOS Ventura 13.0 Language: French (FR)

Trying to add my yahoo email account to Gmail. Keep getting message Must enable cookies on browser for yahoo account.

Have tried Firefox process shown in past posts. Keep getting redirected to same page on how to enable cookies.

Screenshots shown on earlier posts by “Jon…” not legible.

Thanks for your help!!

Periodically I open Firefox and all my cookies have been deleted. I go into settings to find "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" has been checked (NOT BY ME!) again. This is very annoying as I then have to log into all my websites and go through 2FA. This is annoying to the point that I am posting on this site for help. Next step is find a new browser that doesn't screw up my work-flow randomly for no reason.

A website I want to get on is not letting me sign in. It says the cookies are redirected in an improper way. Trying to figure out how to change cookie settings for a particular site.

Last night, I installed Firefox on my PC; after that, I installed the extensions I needed and logged in to YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp & other places too. Then I exited the browser, SHUT DOWN my computer, & went to sleep. Today, in the morning, when I turn my pc on & open firefox, it shows all extensions & website logins are gone, like I never logged in.

I may have found the reason for this problem; I use an Microsoft Build app called "PC MANAGER.". In the app, I click on deep clean, select everything, & it does remove all the saved logins and extensions logins from Firefox. But in Google Chrome, it doesn't remove anything. To be noted that, when I use the deep clean feature, it also cleans Chrome, the same as Firefox, yet the problems facing Firefox cannot be seen in Chrome.
