Firefox gemenskapsforum

you have to delete over 5 times to get history and cookies to clear. Selecting "everything" never removes everything :( Used to be the best for privacy now its seemingly deceptive..

Before closing Firefox, I go to: Privacy and Security, Clear data for specific sites, remove the sites I don't want. Then I go to Clear Browsing Data and check two boxes: clear Browsing and download history and Temporary cached files.

In spite of that, I see 50 - 100 MB in Google. I don't want that.

Therefore, I went to the Manage Exceptions list and added all the sites that I want to keep cookies and site data. I checked Save Changes. (Google is included in that list.)

However, if I return to Clear Browsing Data & Cookies, check Cookies & Site Data, then Clear, Firefox deletes all the sites stored in Managed Exceptions, too. It's not supposed to do that.

Questions: 1. How do I prevent that from happening? 2. Should I remove Google from Managed Exceptions list?

Please advise. Collis

I always delete ALL browsing data every time after using the internet. However, when I next go to use it there is a whole load more kB under "temporary cached files and pages". This usually happens overnight, but has also happened in the daytime. Why would this be? Does it mean someone has gained access to my laptop? Now more concerned as have had fraudulent use of my bank card today.

Non-technical language answers please!

Hello,

It seems that Firefox has lost the ability to clear cookies on exit without also clearing history. This affects the current version, 153, but I started observing it a few versions back, maybe around 148.

In Settings -> Privacy and Security, if I select "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox", this automatically enables "Clear history when Firefox closes". If I unselect the latter, the former also becomes unselected.

I would like to clear site cookies and data whenever I close Firefox, but not browsing history. I'm sure this used to be possible in the past. Is it an intended change that this is no longer possible, or is it a mistake?

Thank you.

Why am I getting logged out of Firefox every time I shut it down. I am getting tired of having to put my username and password in every time. Honestly very close to switching to a different browser. I have google searched the problem, tried every thing it has said, and nothing works.

I don't believe it even comes close. The traces in re: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0NB2KS6j.Profile 1\cache2\entries

It all stopped going away with Wide Disk Cleaner after we began using Windows 10 several weeks ago. Under Win 7 Pro all those files were deleted.

Firefox has nothing I have ever seen that will clear ALL traces beyond the limited things the interface allows you to clear.

In the past, when I would download a Firefox update to my laptop, when I cleared the Cookies and Data, there would be zero remaining. Now, every time I download a Firefox update 24KB of data remain and will not clear when I push the Clear Data button. If there is more in the Cookies and Data file, when I push the Clear Data button most of what is there is removed but there is always 24KB that remains and will not clear.

1. Why has the Firefox updates started leaving 24KB permanently in the cookies and data file?

2. How are we to remove the remaining 24KB that does not clear when you push the Clear Data button?
