  You do not now know what I tried to accomplish with this approach, in Ubuntu 12.04 and Firefox 23 than my current browser version. Whether, there no desired effect, Firefox will not save the session cookies.

  I have these files in my profile from 'cookies' in the name:

  cookies.SQLite.bak
  cookies.SQLite.bak - reconstruction
  cookies.SQLite - shm
  Cookies-sqlite-wal

  I was going to ask this question, and glancing in the profile to see what I have here, I closed Firefox and renamed cookies.sqlite.bak cookies.sqlite. Open Firefox and I see the lack of cookies.sqlite and again, there is a cookies.sqlite.bak.

  This time, when the browser is opened on this issue pending, I copied cookies.sqlite.bak to cookies.sqlite.bak (copy) and renamed that cookies.sqlite. It has the permissions to read / write and it remains to be seen what happens when I close the browser and reopen it.

  My privacy setting is set to accept all cookies, including third parties and to reject cookies when I close Firefox.

  CookieMonster is used to replace Firefox default for sites where I want to accept cookies so that I can keep the site preferences or to stay connected. CookieMonster is not obeyed, the cookies are ignored.

  Based on the response in the third post in the thread, since the two top lines of post of Cor - el, I cleared my problem with just deleting all files with 'cookies.sqlite' at the beginning of their names, close and restart Firefox. Firefox restored all the names, and the new cookies.sqlite has the permissions to read / write without my definition.

  Tab of confidentiality under Edit > Preferences:
  Firefox is configured to use the custom settings for the story, and I accept all cookies, including third-party and keep them until I close Firefox.

  I use the add-on CookieMonster to override this default setting on some sites, so I can keep their cookies from one session to another, which saves some site preferences and allows me to stay connected to my web site.

  Back on the Privacy tab, clear history when Firefox closes, but in the settings, I don't understand cookies. (I included cache and the Web site offline data).

  To include cookies here would cause Firefox clear all cookies at the end of the session, including those who save my site preferences and keep me connected via the settings in CookieMonster.

  Have you tried to delete all the files cookies.sqlite and allow Firefox to create a new file?

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "create a profile":

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• I can't delete cookies after update from version 9.0.1, also the opening, I have 2 new cookie files that disappear at the close of FF.

  I have uninstalled/reinstalled 9.0.1, is the same thing. Check my profile, cookies.sqlite is if FF is closed or uninstalled. When installed and opened, I have 2 new files, wal - cookies.sqlite and cookies.sqlite - shm, as well as of cookies.sqlite. Is this the reason why I can't delete cookies? Also, I and enabled AdBlock Plus and the navigation of private life. After update, I can't post anything in support of FF (this is my 4th attempt, Safari finally used to post) and files under Tools, as clear history are accessible, I shouldn't have a history to remove.

  (1st edition)
  Ok. I reinstalled FF 9.0.1 Safari, but not directly from Mozilla. I used CNet, now things work as they should. I have no cookies listed, except those I want. Private browsing does not work correctly. However, I still have these 2 additional cookie files; -wal-shm.

  (2nd edition)
  I spoke too soon. After accessing sites that I frequent, the 'ad' cookies are back (adbright, realmedia, 247realmedia) and cookies from the site are eliminated, only not here, spent. Now I can't connect to anything and am back to Safari to access the Support Forum of FF. Have I not a bug? Someone please help, I'm desperate, I hate IE, Safari, Chrome, etc. They have neither the level of ad and pop elimination - up that Firefox has; and they don't have the level of customization that Firefox has. 2 additional cookie - wal-shm files, are always there when FF is open and disappeared again the closure of FF. One last thing, I noticed, I have a request of support for Chrome file in my library. The cookie file Chrome could interfere with the FF cookies? I do not think, I have Safari, as well, and no browser has ever interfaced with each other before.

  (3rd edition)
  I have uninstalled/reinstalled FF, all my modules and also tried to delete the cookies.sqlite document in the FF profile file, nothing happens. I counted, there are 14 sites listed in preferences > privacy > pane show Cookies (no pun intended) and they are all sites of "ad". These sites are also listed as sites blocked in Adblock Plus. Until a person pick up, I give up, I don't know what else to do. He there was that the only time that cookies were gone pane show Cookies, every other time I have uninstalled/reinstalled anything, they were still there. So, until someone can help me, I'm stuck. The only thing I did is removed altogether-profile file. It's the last thing I want to do, unless I can save my favorites somewhere to return after reinstalling. If this is not corrected in the next few days, I can just try, too.

  I think I solved my problem. I activated the safemode, then activated each Add on, one at a time, reboot FF between each activation. I don't have the add-on TACO. I hope this is the end. Thank you for your response. I appreciate it.

  Little puzzle, this particular post was not the first in which I posted this question. However, it is the only one that I thought was actually posted on the forum. The first two attempts, I thought had not displayed. Today, there are all the posts with the same problem. So, I really thank Mozilla for their patience and all the people who have taken the time to read this and the other two positions. I apologize for the repeated messages. I really didn't know that they had been posted because I couldn't find their afterwords to edit with my attempts to fix this problem.

• OS, re-installed, lost firfox and parameters. tried to copy on the places.sqlite form a restored version of a backup of the ms system but that firefox deletes copied to

  OS, re-installed, firefox lost and setting. I have no backup of bookmarks. Tried to copy places.sqlite to restore system from 19/12/2014 80 k size while firefox is down. After that firefox is brought backup, 80 k places.sqlite disappeared, replaced by the version of size 10 k.

• webappsstore.SQLite* is 14 MB. How can I reduce the size? Storage for Firefox is more than 35 MB.

  I use Firefox 20 on a LG Optimus Slider ARMv6 & Android 2.3.4. I moved Firefox on the SD card, but this moves as part of Firefox. The rest remains in the main memory of Firefox (for example under/data/data). This directory is 35MB, which is big enough:

     # du -ks /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/foo.default
     34777   /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/foo.default
  

  Under my profile directory (foo.default), I see that webappsstore.sqlite & webappsstore.sqlite - wal raise a huge 14Mo with a value of space. 14MB is enormous! How can I reduce this space?

     # pwd
     /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/foo.default
     # du -ks * | sort -n | tail
     3549    safebrowsing
     4080    Cache
     4096    webappsstore.sqlite
     6072    adblockplus
     10600  webappsstore.sqlite-wal
  

  Yes, the webappsstore.sqlite - wal (wal: Write-Ahead Logging) should not be there, after the closure of Firefox.
  This seems large enough to me for a temporary file.

• How to erase history without deleting the active connections?

  I never used to have this problem and I have updated Firefox repeatedly but continue to have the problem. Whenever I have clear history (everything EXCEPT the active connections), get it out of my active connections. I clear the cache and cookies quite often because of my older laptop computer and constant streaming on Netflix, Hulu and TWC. Is there a way I can fix this problem?

• "Bookmarks and history system is not functional" with corrupt files found by Avast and slow loading Web sites ONLY in Firefox

  Firefox is the only browser that allows me to connect with my microphone. I need to use this feature for an online class. Earlier tonight, the message invites me to grant or deny permission to site class to use the microphone stopped appearing and without this registration only will pick up all the sounds and I can't save anything.

  I tried to quit and restart Firefox. I had a few extensions in use at the time, in particular Session Manager. The allow/deny message would not always appear, then I restarted my computer.

  Now when I open Firefox, I see the message error "the bookmarks and history system won't be not functional. In addition, the browser loads websites extremely slowly; It takes several minutes to load each page or for me to be able to click on anything whatsoever (bar URL, menus, etc.) my other browsers (Internet Explorer and Chrome) are functioning normally and loading Web sites at a normal speed. I tried to download the latest version of Firefox, but it does not solve anything. I also tried to restart the computer again, but that didn't help either.

  I ran my Avast software system check, and it has mounted as the following files under "C:\Users\ (me) \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Irozixj7.default ' are 'damaged and unreadable ':
  -cookies.sqlite - shm
  -cookies.sqlite - wal
  -localstore.rdf
  -places.sqlite - shm

  There was one more problem on the analysis, but it is probably not relevant: the file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\{9A2C6FA7-E04E-4819-B86A-8363A9D1E42A}\mpengine.dll" it says "the system does not have the specified path. When I tried to follow the path shown, one of the files (I can't remember who) said something along the lines of "you can't access this folder, you want to allow access to this file permanently? I said yes and was able to access the folder.

  I tried to add the extension in Maintenance of places, but the speed is too slow to download anything. Trying to access any results of the menus in the Explorer freezing for several minutes then thaw but with the menu still unopened. As a result, none of the solutions found here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?esab=a & as = aaq) seem to work.

  My questions are the following:
  -Is it possible to understand what caused the problem in the first place?
  Is there a way for me to fix it without losing my bookmarks and history?
  -How can I prevent that from happening again in the future?

  First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox. You can copy the folder of your Firefox profile together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder. To quickly access this folder:

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  Then, to keep this file open, exit Firefox and try to move "damaged and unreadable" files to another folder. With the exception of localstore.rdf, which stores the positions of windows, toolbar tools and other data non-essential customizations, other files appear to be specific session files that we hope, are not critical. If you restart Firefox, should he behave more normally?

  If this is not the case, try to create a fresh Firefox profile. It will be the Flash plugin, which is the control of sites use usually to connects to your camera or microphone and other plugins, but otherwise will be a new configuration. This article has the commissioning steps in the Profile Manager: use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox.

  If the sites are functioning normally in the new profile, you can import your bookmarks from your old profile, as well as the copy on the other files that do not appear to be the cause of the problem. Some trial and error may be needed to determine that. This article has a few tips: recovery of data from an old profile.

  If the new profile is not better, you can exit Firefox and use the Profile Manager to return to your original profile.

  Any improvement?

• Had to reload operating system and applications data, now can't get firefox to recognize the profile data

  My C drive (disk solid state drive), which held my operating system and data from the app crashed. I had it replaced, updated Win 7 to win 10 and have downloaded Firefox. I was able to restore my profile from a Mozy backup data and copied in the Firefox folder. But Firefox resolutely refuses to recognize. I tried using the recovery data from an old profile, but no advantage help page. Tried to use the Manager profile, but without success. When I go to Troubleshooting Information and click on file/Show profile, it comes up with a list of files (files starting with bookmarkbackups, which however is empty, down for webapps, which has the file inside webapps.json), then the files from addons.json down through xulstore.json and the file places.sqlite is 10 240 KB Although there is something in there, but Firefox resolutely refuses to acknowledge my profile, bookmarks, etc..

  I'm out of options and ripping my hair out trying to get all my favorites, in which I have a lot of information such as the authentication of data for many favorite sites. It is frustrating that all the information seems to be there, but Firefox ignore all.

  Can anyone help?

  Such a backup is perhaps a ZIP archive containing all the files into it if it is not a real file, but only one file.

  Note is that you replace the file places.sqlite with a copy of the backup that you have to make sure to remove existing places.sqlite - shm and temporary files to SQLite places.sqlite - wal.
  Ditto for the other SQLite files that you are restoring.

  Have you checked the application.ini file in the backup?

• Filled with downloads remain when you click "Clear downloads."
