I read an article recently about 'session hijacking' and decided that every time I quit Firefox, I wanted to delete cookies & clear site data as well as browsing history.

However I wanted to know if it's possible to do that as well as all open tabs to be persist & be reopened through the quit and restart cycles (albeit logged out if it's website where I was logged in) but I can't get it to work as there appears to be a contradiction in all these options.

FF 159.0 macOS 10.15.8 Catalina (yes, ancient os I know) using the extension Tree Style Tab

I've been adding exceptions for some websites Privacy and security > Browsing data > Manage exceptions & History > Customise history > Choose what you want Firefox to remember > Advanced settings > Manage exceptions.

Home and startup > Startup > Open previous windows and tabs is checked but must be overridden by the other options.

Any advice on what settings will achieve what I want or even if it's possible? TIA

When I select a line of text, normally it would get deleted/overwritten when typing a new line of text, but when I select text in Firefox and begin typing again, it simply deletes the first word in the selection and keeps the rest. Is there a setting to have ALL text selected deleted/overwritten when new text is entered? Selecting one word overwrites the whole word but when an entire line to be deleted is selected, only the first word is deleted and typing begins where that word ends.

The last update (which was VERY rocky... I had to reinstall and functionality has NOT been great since) eliminated the Bookmarks icon from the top ribbon. I've looked through settings, but find no way to restore it. Can it be restored? I now have to click the menu, Settings, and THEN Bookmarks.

I read online that Firefox is planning on implementing AI features. Given the track record of AI in other browsers leaking private information, bogging down connectivity, and generally being a nuisance towards users, I was wondering if there will be opt out features in future updates? Or know of forum threads that will update with tutorials on how to turn off AI features?

If not, does anyone on this forum have recommendations for no-ai browsers?

I often use the key combination Ctrl+Alt+X in Google Docs when on different devices but it doesn't function properly when instead it brings up the AI sidebar gadget. Removing the sidebar button doesn't really help and it's annoying. So how exactly do I turn off the key combination for the sidebar?

Hi, I unchecked something in my settings and I don't know what I did to cause when I right click to copy something there is no copy and a lot of the rest of the options are no longer there as well. Can you tell me what to do to repair this? It doesn't give me the option to take a screen shot either or I would show you what's left in that popup box. It only give me "Ask an AI chatbot" and the "translate".

Have a nice day, Tom
