Impossible to delete cookies.

I click on delete all. They seem to go away. then I left the program, open again and back. Looks like a lot are the rejected.

How can I remove them?

Tools > clear recent history does not work.

Many Web sites do put cookies in Firefox, so if you delete them, then visit those sites again once, you will have more.

So when you are in clear recent history, time range set to 'All' and then delete cookies, what does not work? Have you tried to start Firefox in Safe Mode?

  • Impossible to delete cookies from XP. 17 Firefox

    I have Firefox set to delete cookies when it is closed. After I closed Firefox, I've generally run CC Cleaner. In the analysis, CC Cleaner shows 307 cookies with a total space of 0.

    Under XP, I went to Options, privacy and show Cookies. There are probably some 307 shown. When I click to delete all Cookies, nothing happens. When I pointed out a cookie and click to remove, nothing happens. When I open the particular cookie file and see the cookie, highlight it and click on Remove cookie seems to disappear for a while, but when I click on one that follows, the first returns.

    I want that ALL the evidence of all of these cookies FROM my computer.

    How to accomplish this?

    You may have installed an extension such as TrackerBlock or do not Track Plus that manages a set of OPT-OUT cookies if you can't delete cookies permanently.

    In this case, you will need to uninstall the extension to remove the opt-out cookies.

  • Impossible to delete cookies for individual Web sites

    Turn Firefox 29 8.1 on windows 64-bit.

    This arose because a particular Web site difficulties to set a cookie (I think) - FF gave the error that the site Web server was redirect the request in a way that could not be completed-, but with a warning that it could be caused by cookies are not allowed. So I tried to delete the cookie for this particular website, but FF seems not to comply. It is removed from the list of cookies in the dialog box and I can close the dialog box, but if I reopen it the cookie it shows always also present. Make a second time does not help.

    I then found that this applies only to apply to a particular Web site, it is a Web site that stores a cookie. Cookies are set to be deleted when they expire that I find useful for some site store cookies (I can't find a white list that allows cookies deleted except those on the whitelist, this as opposed to the blacklist that prevent some websites from setting cookies at all).

    I tried the following:
    (1) open FF in safe mode, but I get the same result (cookie not deleted)
    (2) with closed FF rename cookies.sqlite to the road. Then begins with a 'clean' cookie file, I always get the same result (cookie is not deleted).
    I can confirm that the cookie is not removed by quickly opening the cookies.sqlite and by searching for the string of the Web site.

    I tried to adjust FF cookie 'political' to remove all at the end of the session and that works - but it eliminates also the most useful as well. Someone at - it ideas?

    Note that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

    The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    Impossible to delete iOS apps 10-pressing/holding icon just widgets for the app.

    Hi b. Bruce Brinson,.

    I understand that you are having some difficulty to remove apps on your iPhone, and instead you see additional options for these applications. I know it's important to have control over what is on your iPhone, so I'm happy to help you.

    From what you described, it seems that you use tactile 3D, instead of simply touch and hold for remove. You can see more info on tactile 3D and how it works here:

    3D Touch - iPhone

    Tactile 3D

    Tactile 3D gives you an additional way to interact with the iPhone. On supported devices, you can tap the screen to see the previews, access useful shortcuts and more.

    Tactile 3D is based on:

    • iPhone 7

    • iPhone 7 more

    • iPhone 6 s

    • iPhone 6 sec more

    For example, press a notification to the lock screen to respond. In Mail, tap a message in the list of the mailbox for a glance at the contents of the message, and then slide up to see a list of actions. Or press a little more pop the open message. In Photos, tap a picture for the look to it, and then drag upward to share or copy it; Press a little bit more far to jump the image in full screen. In this document, look for other examples of tactile 3D, which are marked with .

    You can use Touch 3D on the home screen, tap the application to see the menus of fast action. For example, you can press the icon of the camera on the home screen, then choose Selfie take. Quick action also works in the Control Center. For example, press the flashlight, then choose a light bright, medium, or low.

    Once you have an understanding of what is currently happening, try the following steps to remove apps from your iPhone:

    Remove an application

    1. Press and hold the application until it stirs.
    2. Press on the in the upper left to remove.

    You may be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the app. If you see a pop-up that says, "[application name] remove will also remove all the data," press DELETE.

  • Prevent Firefox to delete cookies?

    Hi guys,.
    I see a lot of answers and docs online on the deletion of cookies in Firefox, but how to prevent this? I could be wrong, but it seems that Firefox is the removal of things without my desire because all the site connections with a checkbox control to stay connected to always keep forcing connection on every visit after the closing and re-opening Firefox. I always thought that checkbox creates a cookie that should remain browser restarts, but it does not appear. Of course, I could very well be wrong. Please notify.

    Thank you

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in permanent private browsing mode (don't remember history).

    • Tools > Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".
    • : Uncheck the [] "always use the private browsing mode.

    A detail as a website to remember you (automatically log you) is stored in a cookie.

    You can use these steps to make a Web site remember you:

    • Create a cookie "allow" exception to keep these cookies, especially in the case of secure websites and when the cookies expire when you close Firefox.
    • Tools > Options > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions

    In case you use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' or otherwise to clear the history.

    I was always able to delete cookies in Firefox. With the latest version, I don't see a delete button or move the slider to display a button Delete. How to delete cookies without a button actually remove visible?

    How do you remove usually cookies? In the Firefox Cookies dialog box, there are two buttons at the bottom: all delete and delete the selection. If you're used to a button Delete, it could be that you used an add-on to delete cookies.

    You can access the dialog box Cookies for the current site using the Page Info dialog box. Either:

    • Right click and select View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".
    • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.
    • Click on the globe or padlock icon in the address bar > additional information > "View Cookies".

    In the dialog that opens, the site current is automatically entered in the top search box, so you can delete cookies from the site individually. If you want to see all THE cookies, you can disable this dialog.

  • 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.

  • Why is the number of previous visits so high in the Security tab of the certificate information window when you visit a secure https site (in my case 13.400) even after deleting cookies?

    When you go to www.gmail.com and I right click on the colorful gray "google.com" showed left next to the address bar then it shows you the details of the certification. When you click on 'other info' and then go to the Security section he show you how many times you visited the site before. In my case it say zero, but this is not the case with my friend, his nuber of previous visits said 13,400 even after deleting cookies and history.

    Can someone tell me what this means and if anyone other than himself is perhaps looking at his email because he is a little worried now.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • Why Firefox does not delete cookies by leaving to open tabs?

    Firefox does not delete cookies for the tabs that are left open when you quit the browser even with empty cookie options set. Cookies are only eligible for the tabs that are closed before leaving the browser. I do not understand how this could possibly be a design decision because it completely defeats the purpose of the privacy settings.

    Under Options > Privacy I enabled/selected, the following options.

    • Accept cookies (no "Exceptions... »)
    • Continue until the "closing of Firefox".
    • Clear history of Firefox closing
    • * Download history
    • * Cookies
    • * Active Logins
    • * Cache
    • * Data from the Web site offline

    These cookies are stored in session data.

    You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref 2 (never) or 1 (no HTTPS, default in the Firefox 3 versions) on the topic: config page to disable the registration of cookies via session restore.
