I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I cannot figure out what the deal is. Every time I launch Firefox I have to re sign into YouTube. I have tried the following troubleshooting methods after looking it up.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

and whatever else you want.

This is not working I have also disabled all extensions and am still having this issue. It is only with YouTube no other site does this to me.

I keep getting a message that "CAD 3.8.1" has deleted my cookies. I get this message every few seconds. I can't find where it's coming from to disable it. As a result my log in info isn't saved and I have to keep logging in. Has anyone else had this problem?

I love using Firefox but was very surprised. First thing I do is run anti spyware software to clear all the cookies, etc. Then, I opened a private window and access some of my private information. Closed the browser. Then ran the anti spyware again only to find 3 files that were found as invasive. I thought if I used the private window I was protected. What happened? Did I misunderstand?

I am trying to transfer my cookies from Chrome over to Firefox, yet the import wizard has no mention of cookies under the chrome category. Things such as Edge Legacy and Internet Explorer have the cookies tab available.

I read that there was a way to do it manually, but I'm unsure of how.

I know things such as CookieBro exist, but I'm unsure if they're safe and they seem like a way to get all my tokens logged.

When typing in a URL (for example www.google.com) and pressing enter, Firefox automatically sends me to a specific page on the website that I've visited before (for example, www.google.com/search/12345). I am making sure that it is not auto-filling a suggested URL before hitting enter, it is just the basic URL. I tried deleting cookies for that website and clearing the Firefox suggestions using the arrow keys and shift + Delete and it is still automatically sending me to a different page on that website. I also tried the same thing in an incognito browser and it does the same. If anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated. It's not a big hassle but I just want to figure it out more than anything.

I used to be able to right click on the yahoo mail tab and it would allow me to select a work, personal etc. yahoo email accounts. This would let me be logged into multiple email accounts at the same time and each one would be on a different tab.

About every month or so Firefox decides to delete my login info and i have to relog everywhere again.

While this is not a critical issue, its a very annoying one.

My cookie settings are on standard, and the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" square is unticked. I use Dashlane for my passwords but ive used it for a long time before on mozilla and other browsers and i've never had issues with it.

I need help in a bad way because I have tried all the directions BigFish has given. I am also 82 years old so I will follow your advice. The login worked for a couple of days but I think Firefox had some updates because computer restarted several times when I wasn't present. When that happens I then find myself having problems with Facebook which is a big nightmare in itself but then I also find I once again am blocked from my game site. Below is what I get each time at the BF game site:

Cookies are required to sign in!

No, we're not talking about chocolate-chip cookies. "Cookies" are little text files sent to your browser to help keep track of users. Your browser is set to not accept cookies, so our system cannot sign you in.

Please follow the instructions below for your browser (starting at the top menu), and then refresh this page:

   Internet Explorer:
   Tools -> Options -> Privacy tab. Reduce the setting to medium.
   Opera:
   Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Cookies -> Accept cookies.
   Firefox:
   Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cookies tab -> Allow sites to set cookies.
   Safari:
   Safari -> Preferences -> Security -> Accept Cookies: Only from sites you navigate to.
   Netscape:
   Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies -> Allow cookies based on privacy settings (or Allow all cookies).

I have tried my best to get Firefox to allow the cookies or eat them or whatever is needed but apparently I am doing something wrong. The BF tech is now advising me to change to another browser but I am unwilling to do that. I am used to Firefox.

Please, is there anyone who can help me, even walk me through so I don't get this same page again and again?

P.S. I am not above begging either. I am elderly and very close to tears because I retired from a prototype engineering and developmental lab where I worked with robots and all that. I guess they have turned on me.

How do I set Cookies to DEFAULT to 'Allow for Session' When 'Use Default' box is Checked. I would like ALL Website cookies to be set to 'Allow for Session' THEN if I have a Site that I want Cookies set to 'Allow' I would set just that particular Site.

i've been a loyal fan for over 20 years but i just can't comprehend why would ignoring dns settings be a good idea .. i can't even imagine a hypothetical situation when this makes sense.

and now i have to either tolerate edge, chrome or just forget internet which is really hard to do when you work in IT ...

amazing.

I have twice come across a glitch on the Firefox version of tumblr. The notifications will remain entirely static, regardless of how many items are in my dash or how many people have interacted with my posts. I am sure this is a Firefox issue as logging onto Google Chrome removes this issue entirely. I have temporarily removed cookies and passwords for tumblr, but the issue has not improved.

Every week or so, I discover that my most visited sites ask me again for cookie consent, meaning whatever I saved the previous time gets removed. This also happens with extensions (for example, I get logged out of my password manager extension). I strongly suspect this happens after Firefox performs updates in the background.

It's incredibly frustrating and I am considering switching to another browser, after using Firefox for more than 10 years. This behavior started this year, and I've been struggling to understand why and what I can do about it.

I would very much appreciate some help on fixing this, it's driving me crazy. Thanks in advance.
