Firefox Community Forum

Warum muss ich immer wieder die Surfdaten löschen damit ich die Seite meines Routers öffnen kann ? Nur dann funktioniert eigenartiger Weise mein Passwort. Es ist die Seite:http://192.168.8.1/#/home zu meinem Huawei B636 Anmeldung. Mein Firefox ist auf aktuellem Stand. Bitte um Info bzw. Abhilfe

When I select Photos from menu (top right bars), I get Google message that there is a problem with my cookie settings and I need to enable them. I haven't changed them.

It seems the default for allowing sites to store data locally is backwards (for privacy).

You should be able to set the DEFAULT to "Allow all sites to store data locally FOR THE SESSION ONLY," and then type in the sites that you would like to allow to store data locally for more than one session (or block entirely).

Is there a way to do this? There are not many sites I would like to allow permanent local data storage, so it wouldn't be such a terrible chore to type in their URLs. The opposite is true for sites I would want to allow ONLY FOR the one SESSION - that is a HUGE chore. This appears to be a privacy & security oversight - can you fix this?

For the last three days or so I have been haivng problems with loggin in to sites. I no longer log in automatically to my many of the sites I use, particularly those set for my home page such as IMDB.com, ebay, web.whatsapp.com etc. Everytime I restart firefox I have to log in again. This started I think wit hthe latest update 155.0.1 (my current version) installed 5th sept 26 or 155.0 installed 3 sept 26

It doesn't seem to be reading the cookies that exist. I have it configure so all cookies are cleared on exit except those in the exception list, which are those for my home page plus about 30 others I log into. There is definitely cookie data there for these sites. I hve tried everythinig but this clearly seems to be a bug. at the moment I am using Opera since the necessity to keep loggin in to every site every time is just too much.

I am having an issue where Firefox sometimes keeps showing an older version of my website even after I update CSS or JavaScript files. A normal refresh does not always show the latest changes, but clearing the browser cache fixes the issue.

Is there a way to refresh or clear the cache for only one website without clearing all browsing data? I would like to keep the cache and login data for my other websites.

Running 154.0.1 on MacOS 26.6.1. Sometimes firefox stops working and I think I'm having an internet issue. No page able to load, not even a google search. I see the cache is full at 1gb and I clear cache for the last hour. Browser starts working again. To me, the problem doesn't seem like not enough cache capacity but the browser refusing to evict old, stale cache. How do I fix this other than manually clearing the cache? This seems like a bug that should be fixed.

We thought this is simple. But it looks like we need to have words explained to us. Setting firefox to never remember history makes it produce some claims that it looks like it developers aren't really aware of the meaning of. Setting it to "Never remember history" makes it automatically check "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox" and "Based on your history settings, Firefox deletes cookies and site data from your session when you close the browser.". After having done that firefox forces a restart. We use it a little bit and close it again. Then open it up and re-enable "Remember history". It will force another restart, and then suddenly remember all the things it was told not to remember. Like automatically relogging into google for you, opening tabs, and things like that.

So. Can someone explain to us the meaning of the words "forget", "never", "history", "clear", "cookies and site data", "every time", "close firefox", "deletes", "close the browser". We thought it couldn't be more obvious that what the user intends with these settings is for you to delete the user data. Like you claim you do. And then you wonder why people say firefox is bought and payed for by google. If anyone of you can find the time to take your tongues out of google long enough to define these words for us we would forever be thankful. Can please someone please teach us please english please?

When I am on Facebook and I am trying to post on a private group that I am a member of, it will not let me. I went t Facebook help and they suggested trying removing extensions like ad Blockers which I have done. They also suggested clearing my cache and cookies.

проблема с тем, что мои куки файлы или кэш файлы внезапным образом после того как я закрыл браузер пропали. я попробовал откатить систему с помощью точки восстановления, но ничего не помогло и все равно ничего не восстановилось. чувствую себя грустно от того, что как будто я копил вкладки нужные мне очень долго и сейчас так просто их потерял. если нужно, чтобы я еще что то написал, прошу напишите мне в ответном сообщении, потому что я не знаю какая информация нужна Google Translation: The problem is that my cookies or cache files suddenly disappeared after I closed the browser. I tried rolling back the system using a restore point, but nothing helped and still nothing recovered. I feel sad that it is as if I have been accumulating the tabs I need for a very long time and now I just lost them. If you need me to write something else, please write to me in a reply message, because I do not know what information is needed

It happened again. My firefox must have removed all of my cookies because I had to sign back into all of my regular websites--Youtube, Yahoo email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. This has happened once before. Firefox deleted all the sign in cookies? Not sure what exactly is happening; I only know that I had to sign back into all my regular websites. This seems to be happening every few months now.

Hello,

in Firefox 154, it looks like there are 2 places if you want to create exceptions to clearing data when exiting.

1. In about:preferences#privacy under "Browsing data": "Exceptions - cookies and site data"

2. and in about:preferences#history: "Exceptions - clear history on shutdown"

The 1st place allows more than just an exception to clearing data on exit, it allows negative exceptions too (i.e. "block" and "session-only"), whereas the 2nd place does not have those, and is only an exception to clearing data on exit.

having both of those dialogues is pretty confusing and seems duplicative.

what are the under the hood differences between them, and which one should be preferred for exceptions to clearing data on exit?
