Blocked cookies showing in Storage Inspector

Although all cookies are blocked in Firefox 36, the Storage Inspector panel shows that some sites still put cookies in my browser. These cookies are only visible in the Storage Inspector panel and not in the Cookies window accessible through the Privacy tab of the Options window. As far as I could see up to now this happens only for certain sites such as Amazon, Youtube, Dailymotion, Mozilla Support etc.
Can anyone please explain why the Storage Inspector shows cookies while the Cookies window doesn't show anything?
Thank you.

Note that the storage inspector shows more than cookies and also includes third-party cookies from other domains.
You always need to remove existing cookies when you make changes to allow/block lifetime settings for a domain or allow/block third-party cookies.
Extensions that manage cookies can complicate this.

Why is it when I choose "block cookies always" I still get lots of cookies showing in my preferences even though I clear them after every use

Why is it when I choose "block cookies always" I still get lots of cookies showing up when I look at my preferences. I always clear my cookies after each use but I don't understand how I can get any at all if they are supposed to block cookies always? I have a desk top Mac and am using safari.

Safari caches cookies in memory and will sometimes write them back to disk after they've been deleted, for reasons known only to the developers. After deleting cookies, quit Safari immediately, then relaunch it. The cookies should now be gone for good, or until you visit the same sites again.

How can I add a blocking cookie to keep by Blogger stats feature from counting my own page views? Blogger has a pop-up menu that promises to do this, but it has not worked.

This is the message from the Blogger stats pop-up:
"Don't track your own page views: You can tell Blogger not to include your own pageviews in its stats. To do this, Blogger must add a blocking cookie to your browser."
I click on the "Don't track my pageviews" option and click "save." However, my own pageviews are still being tracked. Can I do this operation myself?

Hi ben_burrowes, the disallow future dialogs checkbox appears on normal sites, no add-on required, but apparently some sites have found a way around it.
In a thread about a different inescapable website problem a user suggested gutting the page using the Inspector. I haven't tested it on the kind of page you're encountering, but here's how you would do it: right-click a blank area near the margin of the page, and choose Inspect Element (Q). This should open a panel with some element of the page's HTML code selected. You're looking for the <body> tag, scroll up if necessary, then right-click it and choose Delete Node. You also could delete the <head> node. There's a good chance this will cripple the script that's preventing you from leaving the page. Obviously not an approach you would want to have to use often, but you could practice it for potential emergencies.

I can't get my iphone 5. Ios 7, to accept cookies. I have set the 'block cookies' field ti either never or from third parties. I have cleared history and cookies and data, restart the iphone. Please help...

I upgraded my iphone to os 7 two days ago. However, now it cant accept cookies at all. I have set field 'block cookies' to never or from third parties. I have cleared history and cookies, then reboot my iphone. I have tries to force close all applications. Still, cant accept cookies. Please help...

Make sure you have the latest iTunes version installed and hopefully you have the most recent backup of your iPhone. Do a DFU restore. While it's plugged in to your computer, press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons together until the screen is off. When the screen's off, release only the Sleep/Wake button and keep holding down the Home button. Wait until you see in iTunes on your computer to show that it detected it in recovery mode. When it does, proceed with the restore. It will be restored and updated to the latest iOS 7.0.2. If you have a backup, restore from that backup once iOS 7.0.2 is successfully installed on your iPhone.
If your iPhone still won't activate, I agree with gail, you will have to get in touch with that developer.

Firefox Help page on "blocking cookies" is incomplete and refers to a "tool" menu that does not exist

The following page:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Blocking%20cookies?s=blocking+cookies&as=s
is incomplete - please see as example:
"Viewing a list of blocked sites
To see a list of sites that you have blocked from setting cookies: "
There is no text after the colon.
Also the same page refers to selecting a "Tools" menu from the Firefox window(whatever that is?) - in order to get "Page info" so that cookies can be blocked. I can't the Tools menu - clicking on the Firefox (at top left hand of page) does not give this option.
I was looking at this page in order to find out how to permanently block specific cookie sites. I block them when they appear when I have set "accept 3rd party cookes to "keep until" - "ask me every time" - and I also have "clear history when Firefox closes" set. However the blocked addresses are deleted when I come out of Firefox - this is very irritating as there are some cookies I wish to permanently block. This means that every time I open a web site I have to click on "deny" cookie several times - even thought they are the same ones I have blocked in a differenrt session. I prefer to choose what I block as some sites really don't work without their personal cookies - usually to support subscriber log in (e.g to log in to the "New Scientist" site)so "private browsing" doesn't really help and as you have mentioned elsewhere blocking 3rd party cookies can also cause problems

Thank you for "Do Not Track" it's a good start although it will have no effect if the sites ignore it.

Looks like a problem with show for that is only specified for Firefox 3.5 for that section.

Have new computer, Win 7, and the blocking cookies is not working on Firefox

I have been using XP as the OS for many, many years and have been using Firefox also with never any problems with blocking cookies using that feature. As of today, when I received the new computer, this is not functional. I have attempted to block google.com cookie several times and each time, it keeps appearing in the cookies list which shows what is on the computer. Is this a problem with Win 7, or a change in Firefox? The options windows have changed in some aspects as well. I downloaded Firefox immediately after getting the new computer.
This is very, very frustrating. Any and all help will be most appreciated.
***I attempted to follow the directions below, however it said it was being prevented from asking me to "allow"???

How are you blocking Google from settings cookies?
Try opening the Permissions manager by typing or pasting '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and pressing Enter. Then type ''goog'' in the search box above the site list. What do you have set for google.com? See the attached screen shot for an example.

I can't find a way to block cookies from the Bank of America website. Is there a way to still do this?

Previously, when accessing the Bank of America Online Banking website I could keep them from placing cookies on my machine. Following your online instructions I can only deal with history. How can I block cookies with the current version of Firefox running on a Mac?

I installed the add-on, and was told it was installed, but when I go to the Bank of America site I can't find an icon to toggle. If I could find it, it sounds like what I'm looking for.
However, I have gone to the Permissions list for the BofA website and with either "Allow cookies just for this session" or "Don't allow cookies" makes it impossible to get into the site.
The frustrating thing is that I can use Safari and ALL of the security boxes show up, just as they used to do with Firefox.

Safari will NOT block cookies, ever

Safari will NOT block cookies, ever. No matter what they always show up (even from advertisers on a particular site) - I have reset safari, deleted its preference file, re-installed the OS, tried a different user, tried as root user - all with same same result. I tried to re-install Safari but was told by the OS that I need to have at least 10.6.7 installed and I am currently running 10.6.8!
I have an 27" iMac running 10.6.8 with all updates, Safari 5.05. I am also running VirusBarrier X6 10.6.12. VirusBarrier has a cookie feature as well but it doesn't block cookies. I have completely disabled VirusBarrier and still get the same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is true. The "block cookies always" setting in the Privacy tab is not 100% effective (evidently Apple programmers have their own definition of "always").
There will not be a solution from Apple. They don't care. Users that want to block cookies are almost surely poor consumers and probably troublemakers too.
dfp mbp's fix will work but what a pain.
It used to be one was willing to pay the Apple "tax" for a superior product, but that was then ...

I have the same issue and it has to do with iOS 8.2
Apple, please mend this ASAP. Really stupid change since iOS 8.1
If you for some reason must have many different folder make sure that you put the newst photo in the last folder so one can easily find a photo when I don't want to copy all photos to, let' say, my friend computer.

My privacy option does not include "custom settings"and i am not able to block cookies.

To set Firefox to block cookies from all websites:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options
Select the Privacy panel.
' Set Firefox will: to Use custom settings for history.
Remove the check mark from Accept cookies from sites.
Click OK to close the Options window
"Set Firefox will: to Use custom settings for history" is not included in my privacy panel

Do you see the set Firefox will line?
Next to that text you see a clickable button and if you click that button then a drop down list with further choices will open.

Macbook pro shows incorrect storage information on SSD.

I am using a macbook pro. The storage information is shown wrongly. Control I shows the correct information but finder and space bar on the hard disk show incorrect storage information. Used space is actually 122 GB which is shown as 140 GB. Even omnidiskkeeper shows the breakup of 122 GB but the storage information summary shows 140GB.

   Re-index Macintosh HD.
   Spotlight reindexing will take a while to finish.

Trying to block cookies from a certain site?

I am trying to block cookies from a certain site, in this case criteo.com, which seems to be causing banner ads that mess with the visual of my netflix and facebook accounts because of their size. I tried following directions on the criteo site, but the blocking is not working!
