I-Firefox Community Forum

Every time I select Gmail on Firefox page, it requires me to sign in with a code. I have selected 'Strict' for browser privacy and 'Clear history after closing Firefox'... plus a number of other settings. I then get a notice of someone signing into my account each time, as does the person who I use as a backup to my account. I'd like not to go through that each time I access my Gmail account.

Thanks for the help.

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?

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.

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

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..
