clear data box not working

When I try to clear cookies from websites, the clear data box is grayed out and not working. I did not change any settings. As mentioned in another thread, I have tried uninstalling FF and installing it again and it did not work.

I also found the solution below in your forums:
" look at about:support, specifically Important Modified Preferences. I found that browser.cache.offline.enable was set to false for reasons unknown. I set it to true, restarted FF, and now have access to Clear Data and Manage Data."

However, I do not know where to find the "about:support, browser.cache.offline.enable" to set it to "true." Can someone help, please? Thanks!

Make sure you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History).

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
  • remove checkmark: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"

Thank you. A friend of mine came and was able to solve the issue.
