Hi! I am using MacOS Firefox and configured:

Delete cookies and site data when Firefox closes.

However I could not find this option in Firefox for IOS or iPadOS and therefore unwilling to use it on these platforms. I find it unconvenient manually deleting those data before closing and I hate foreign software installed on my devices.

Is there any settings I have missed?

In recent weeks, I’ve been getting signed out of two sites in particular, Patreon.com and Defector.com what feels like every day. It’s a nuisance, as I subscribe to both sites and read them primarily through the Firefox browser. I tried deleting all cookies and the issue has persisted. Any help is appreciated.

iOS 26 / Firefox 143.0.1 When trying to delete “all site data” under settings - data management, nothing actually happens although the stored sites disappear at the moment. But when closing and opening the browser again I find the “deleted” site data still there. It only seems to work if I select a few specific sites and hit delete data.

In the past couple days I've run into an issue where Firefox on my iPad signs me out of all my accounts on various websites. It doesn't happen immediately when I close it, but if I log into one of my accounts and leave the iPad to sit for an hour or so, I'll find I'm logged out when I open it again. I'm not encountering this problem with Firefox on my other devices or with Safari on my iPad (I'm using two browsers for sites where I have two accounts).

I've seen answers to similar problems talk about going into cookies settings, but it seems the settings menu is configured differently on the mobile version from the desktop version. The screenshot shows the one menu I could find that mentions cookies. I switched it to not clear cookies, but I think this is about choosing data to clear on this particular screen, rather than what is cleared on closing. Either way, it didn't help.

Any ideas what's happening and how to get it back to normal?

Hi,

I am pretty mad at the iOS team since the latest release came out. I use Firefox for iOS for a long time now and the latest version has the most annoying bug I have ever encountered on a browser: it erases all of my cookies. FF 142.0.1 on iOS 18 first did this last Friday, when the loading of a web page was slowed down because of a network issue. When it resumed, my connexion to the website’s session was lost because the cookie was gone too. But it not only erased this website’s cookie, it erased ALL of the cookies contained in FF. Which is fucking annoying. And it did it again ten minutes ago, without any reason. I would also like to mention that the browsing is quite slow and the app tends to freeze way faster than before. It’s not the first time FF upsets me because of bugs, but such a mismanagement of something as fundamental as a cookie is not acceptable and I would very much like this bug to get fixed quite promptly. Thank you for your attention.

Recently transferred from Chrome. My understanding was Firefox private browsing was supposed to work similarly to chrome incognito mode; once you close the browser, all local files are deleted and cookies are cleared.

However, with Firefox it maintains my logins. If I log into an account while private browsing and the close the browser, I’ll still be logged in next time I go to the website even if it’s days later (and I have never logged into this account in a non-private browsing window!)

I never had this issue using chrome incognito, so it seems to be a Firefox problem.

Is this just not something Firefox supports? Is there any way to prevent storage of cookies and private data?

I’ve noticed that almost every time that I switch from using the Firefox app on my phone to do something else and then come back that my browser will log me out of websites that I had previously logged into to browse. Examples would be Reddit and Amazon where I had toggled them to stay signed in. I’m not closing the app at all so it’s weird that the app is logging me out and it’s getting to be rather annoying since I have to log back in each time. I checked to see if there was a toggle on my settings to clear cookies when I close out of the app but I don’t see it on the iPhone iteration of this app so hopefully someone knows what might be causing this problem!

I have used Firefox to log in to Hotmail.com for years. Suddenly Firefox is deleting login data when I close the tab, but not the browser. And when I return to hotmail in a new tab, I now get a window that says it "can't sign me in, try again later." I have to close Firefox and reopen in order to get a new login page. I have always had Firefox set to delete cookies and site data when I close it. Under History setting, it's "use custom settings", "delete history on closing." Under those settings I have browsing and download history unchecked. My hotmail setting is to stay logged in. What's up?! I've always been able to return to a logged in hotmail all day no matter how many times I close the tab and return to it. I've never had that problem before and don't have it with Safari. I also do not have that issue with yahoo mail.

After recent updates, I’ve been having issues with cookies. Whenever I open Firefox and perform a new Google search, it shows that I’m logged out and the cookie consent popup appears. I have to refresh the page for it to work properly. After refreshing, the cookies load, I’m logged in, and the popup disappears. This issue isn’t limited to Google Search—it happens on about 90% of the websites I try to access right after launching Firefox.
