Delete the Cookies of Session Firefox

Before the last two days (maybe before the recent update FF26), at the end, Firefox would remove all cookies except those related to the tabs I had open at the time. When the reopening of Firefox, my session would be restored, and my connections to different sites would remain active.

Recently, this behavior seems to have changed. Despite browser.sessionstore.privacy_level set to 0 and browser.startup.page being fixed at 3, Firefox guard clear cookies for my session. My story settings remain unchanged compared to what they were before I had the problem. I have Firefox set to accept cookies, always accept cookies from third parties and keep them until I close Firefox. Under 'Clear history of Firefox closing', I've checked everything except "Browing & download history". If I change "Keep until" to "they expire" and uncheck the cookies in the settings to erase history, he will keep my session cookies, but it will also keep cookies for websites not in my session. I haven't installed add-ons recently, and in vain I tried all combinations of history settings in an attempt to achieve the previous behavior, before this issue was raised.

Curiously, Firefox seems to only remove a few cookies. For example, he remembers my username in Google, but not the password or the fact that I was connected. She remembers the connection for this forum and allows me to stay connected completely. Jolt, it seems to delete all cookies, sign out me completely.

I use Firefox on Windows 7 64 bit 26.

Thanks for any help.

Everyone's needs are different, but my strategy is to "session only" by default for all cookies and then NOT clear cookies at the stop. There are a few sites where I want to stay connected, so I create exceptions for these sites, allowing them to create persistent cookies. You cannot create exceptions, so it should be a fairly simple solution for you.

(1) life expectancy set session-only cookie

the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > privacy

The value "keep until: I close Firefox".

(2) do not delete cookies at the stop

the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > privacy > button "settings".

  • I tried several ways to delete the cookies listed in options and nothing works to get rid of them.

    I tried all methods to remove cookies that are available on your support site. I have tried them if the choice in the Options is for authorized cookies and cookies not allowed. Also with 3rd party cookies allowed and not allowed. Normally, I fixed it to authorized cookies but 3rd cookies of third parties not allowed.
    I tried CCleaner, cleaner, cleaner Auglogics Euslings, Wise Cleaner, SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot, and WinPatrol and remove temporary files in Windows. All that the software deletes the cookies. I also Spyblaster to protect against hundreds of tracking cookies. It was SuperAntiSpyware who brought the problem to my attention in the first place. It just started doing this a few weeks ago but only the past several days I've worked hard to get these deleted cookies. There must be hundreds of them. I managed to remove about 5 or 6 of them, but others did not move. I want to clean up everything to start over and analyze them on a daily basis. I don't want most of them. SuperAntiSpyware claims it deletes them but when I go to Options in the browser, they are still there. SuperAntiSpyware claims that cookies are there whenever I run the program before you shut down the computer.
    I just added that convenience store and looked at the information. I'm sorry but I'm not understand anything. I'm not savvy in computer science.

    You may have installed an extension that adds the so-called opt-out Firefox cookies.

    These opt-out cookies are to be sent instead of the regular cookies and you cannot delete these opt-out cookies unless you disable or uninstall the extension.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    I use linux 64-bit, firefox 22. However, this problem is not new, it's happened with older versions of ff too. I'm just tired of pulling up chrome every time, so I decided to report it here for a solution.

    Delete the line

  • It will NOT delete the cookies

  • How delete a wrong password that Firefox always displays; I tried to delete the cookies and the profile, but it does not help.

    Firefox allows the filling of forms (for example webmail inlog) but it also shows a bad login (consisting of the login name and password). I want to delete inlog false names to Firefox. I already tried to delete all cookies from this site and deleted the default profile for my Mac applications folder. But still login to webmail options are given. Where can I find the place where are stored the inlog suggestions?

    You cannot delete an entry in the dropdown menu with the mouse.

    You can do this only with the keyboard.

    You can delete passwords in the password manager

  • One can see the cookies of session in private browsing mode - see only normal cookies.

    Using Firefox 19.0.2

    Is it possible to allow Firefox to display ONLY the cookies of the current session in private browsing mode, rather than a list of my regular cookies?

    First, basic cookies management seem to work fine for me, in both normal mode and private browsing: Cookies set during private browsing are removed as expected when you exit Firefox or switch to normal navigation.

    HOWEVER...

    I can't SEE the new cookies set during a private browsing session.

    If I start Firefox normally, switch to private browsing mode and then go to Options > show Cookies, the window opens showing a long list of my 'normal' cookies

    Previously, the cookies window seems to be EMPTY at the start of a private browsing session. After a while of browsing and then recheck the list I see only the cookies set in this private browsing session.

    Now, during a private session, when I re - check the list of cookies for navigation I see my regular cookies, and NONE of the new session cookies appear in this list (the same cookies appear as before switching to the private mode).

    I tried to start Firefox in Mode safe, without a change in behavior. I also tried to disable the modules, without change.

    List of installed modules:

    Adblock Plus 2.2.3
    BetterPrivacy 1.6.8
    Ghostery 2.9.3
    Googlebar Lite 4.9.7
    IE View 1.5.6

  • where is the setting to delete the cookies and files on shutdown temp?

    I remember a button control to remove all cookies and temporary files at the end of each session. I can't find it any longer--where it went? I can't believe that you must manually remove the files to keep the crap out on your computer now. 17.0.1 running. for windows xp family.

    See:

    Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

    If you use clear recent history to clear the output cache while Firefox does not like what disk cache: cache page and "Preferences/Options > advanced > network" shows (no entry for the use of the disk cache).

    This does not mean it is the cache drive is empty or disabled, it is disabled and can still contain data.

    You can only clear the disk cache in Firefox by disabling the HRC in this case.

  • should I delete the old version of firefox before installing a new version? If so, then how can I remove and how?

    I have an older version of Firefox and adobe on a Sony VAIO. I get telling me to update the pop-ups and also frequent failures when I try to use the browser. I try to upgrade. I go through the process of downloading, then try step execution and get a message 'not allowed '. I checked and I have administrator privileges, and I have disabled the firewall security software, thinking that it does not block the installation, but nothing works. Nobody knows if the older software are the cause and should be removed until the last version can go. Also, if this problem is solved I will have the same problem with Adobe?

    What version of Firefox is installed on the computer?

    You can find the full version of the current version of the current Firefox (37.0.2) in all languages and all systems operating here:

    If you have a very old version of Firefox, then you might consider uninstalling this version of clean up the existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).

    Be sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Check the Firefox program folder and delete the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  • Can I delete the previous versions of Firefox to save disk space?

    Hi PGWilli,

    If you are satisfied with 8.0 then you shouldn't have to 4.01 at all. As long as all your bookmarks and privacy are in the new version, go ahead and delete the old version.

  • Why is firefox 29 keep delete my cookies? Also, where is clear about the option to leave now?

    All I have in the options is a list of stored cookies to delete, it's good, but with the closing of each session, I lose my cookies from various sites. I would really like to have the option to keep those, becomes annoying to set on and all preferences. I can't describe in words how disappointed I am at the moment, Chrome looks like the only option. I'm tired of all this switch back and forth from one browser to another. With each update is getting worse, how come firefox turned from hero to a common problem?

    Details such as websites to remember you (automatically log you) are stored in a cookie.

    • Create a cookie 'allow' except to keep these cookies, in particular in the case of secure websites and when the cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    • Tools > Options > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions

    It is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies has been corrupted.

    • Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete the other files of cookies as cookies.sqlite - journal in the profile folder of Firefox in the case where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • I had installed a new driver and then downloaded Firefox 7. It has more than 100 witnesses in the download. Delete cookies in the browser do not help since then is in the download. How can I permanently deletes these cookies? Thank you.

    Since it's in the download, I'm unable to permanently delete these (more than 100) cookies and they continue to reproduce whenever I open the browser. Sometimes cookies will not delete when I try to delete the cookie "only" and I have to remove "all". I used Firefox as my browser for years, but this never happened.

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

    -> Basic - a new profile troubleshooting

    IF this new profile works, then you can retrieve your bookmarks and passwords the old profile.

    -> Recovery of data from an old profile

    Check and tell if its working.
