Background: Computer had unexplained shutdowns. Dell tech replaced motherboard and block. Now seems to be working OK.

Problem: I had a small icon on the Navigation Toolbar, not more than an outline. It would delete cookies from a site (generally when I had reached some undefined limit I could then close and return to that website.) This icon may or may not have been a “padlock”. It erased the cookies only from the “active” site. It did not “touch” the logins. I have not been able to recreated this icon or anything that works the same way. In the process of trying to recreate that icon, I apparently have changed how the Firefox Bookmarks Bar works. I used to have 2 rows of Bookmarks Tabs. Each has between 1 and (as many as) 10 Bookmarks. When I start Firefox, all the Bookmarks are fine, but when I select a Bookmark and it opens, all the other Bookmarks disappear. There are only 2 ways to get the Bookmarks back: (1) Close Firefox; (2) Click the left arrow on the Navigation Toolbar (Note: This can be used to “cycle” back and back if any other searching has been done.)

What I want:

    1.)	I want the Bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar to remain and I browse.
    2.)	I would like, if possible, to have an icon that quickly clears cookies in the active site that were added in the active session.

Well at least I think it did. Facebook has an issue with scrolling through the feed in my group. I don't know whether there's also a problem on the home feed and also one's timeline. The further one goes back, the more sluggish it becomes and it takes longer to display posts. I'm not sure whether this is a browser issue as I haven't tested on other browsers, or a problem with Facebook pulling stuff out of the drawers in its archives. Maybe it's a memory issue due to all posts needing to be loaded in memory so it's possible to go back up through the feed to the newest one. Anyway, it gets to the stage after going back through hundreds of posts over 6 months, FB stalls. So I tried clearing my history (I have this set to not clear cookies). I then closed FB and Firefox. When I started Firefox again, I had to agree to cookies and sign into all my social media accounts, Google accounts and also agree to cookies on sites I visit regularly. So obviously a glitch in the browser, causing many, if not all cookies to be deleted.

Hello. I've got a simple suggestion.

When we go to "manage data" in settings. We can only remove a particular cookie, or all cookies from websites. I would love for there to be a block feature there.

The only way to do so now is by going to "manage exceptions" and typing out the URL manually. I'm finding certain URLs becoming more and more tedious to type out. I feel this would really help. Perhaps they could merge "manage data" and "manage exceptions" together and just put all the features in one place.

We've got all kinds of great extensions that can cut down on the annoying cookies and pop ups but I still feel this would be helpful.

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!!

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

A credit union has changed everything they had to login and use their website. I have to call every time I want to pay a bill ,so they can turn something on, or off, showing I am using a computer I have used in the past. It is their security. I was told that, in order for them to recognize my computer I have to turn off, uncheck the box saying to clear my history when I close my browser. I can no longer clear my history or cache if I want to use my bank. There has to be somewhere, to place them in the privacy and security setting so this does not delete what has to be kept in order to have my PC recognized by the worst IT department at any bank, so I don't have make transactions, only during bank hours, and wait 30 minutes on the phone to get this turned off. What instructions can you send me to stop JUST that credit union from being cleared on my History and Cache?
