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.
