• 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.

  • http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie
  • http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track

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

• No cookie name appear when I press the button 'Show Cookies', which would prevent me from manually delete cookies selectively.

  When I open the Cookies window by pressing the 'View the Cookies' button in Options | Privacy the secondary window displays no name cookie just a series of arrows as for different subdirectories. This has been so for several months, but I have changed no cookie setting and have the "accept Cookies from sites' and 'Accept third-party cookies' checkboxes are checked.
  This means that I can't manually control/delete cookies.

• Prevent deleting cookies while eliminating the rest

  I don't know that it's just my fault for not noticing where it is. Is it possible to simply create a list of cookies/data 'safe' so that after browsing many sites I can just 'clear recent history', and do not have my deleted each time too sure cookies? The option exceptions does not, which makes it a bit useless.

  You use clear history recent, then you delete all the cookies. Allow exceptions to keep the specific cookies don't work if you set the cookies expires if you close Firefox or delete unwanted cookies in the Cookie Manager.

• How can I prevent the "delete cookies" delete saved games to a flash based game?

  I'm in Firefox 4 on Windows 7.

  I currently put to delete my story when I finish the session, including the cookies and temporary files. This is due to privacy.

  However, I also have a (downloaded - does not work online or via a browser) based game of flash on my computer - recorded games like LSO.

  Firefox so delete my saved games when I go out.

  How can I set my privacy worries and still play this game?

  I managed to solve it. I downloaded an add-on we called "BetterPrivacy" which was originally designed to remove LSO. It is possible to designate certain protected folders, if you can avoid deleting the LSO in them. The interface is quite intuitive, then I would backup any saved games, you want to keep before experimenting.

  I also deleted my desired once LSO, I think during a cleaning procedure, but I don't know exactly what I did.

• 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.

• Firefox is defined to delete cookies when stopping. What happens if the power is suddenly lost: cookies are still readable and operational?

  I was logged on Facebook when my laptop suddenly lost its power. Someone at the service center will be able to enter in my account at the opening of my Firefox after repair? Windows 7 account is password protected, passphrase is unknown toservicemen.

  Firefox should keep cookies in memory during the session and only write them to disk if Firefox is closed if the cookies are kept beyond the session or, if there is an exception allowing to keep a few cookies.

  Don't forget that protect Windows with a password usually doesn't mean much because it is possible to start the computer using a CD or a USB key and directly access local disks.

• I can't delete cookies with this version of foxfire. I see not the button Delete. How to remove cookies?

  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.

• Firefox leaves behind cookies and form history and research?

  I have Firefox value Never don't forget no form & search history, delete cookies after closing, delete the cache after closing. However, if I do and scan with Ccleaner I notice that Firefox seems to leave behind the cache, cookies, and form data? Why is it not completely eliminated? They are just empty files?

  SQLite files are never deleted or size reduced if the content is removed, so you can not tell by their presence if all data are left in it.
  There may be some records marked as being removed still left in the file that would not display in the user interface.
  You will need to check the files with a hex viewer to check that.

  I don't know about the cache of the jumplist.
  You may disable this feature.
