Can't get Firefox to remember to accept 3rd party cookies.

I need to allow cookies to use several web sites. The web sites won't let me log in without allowing cookies to be set. When I change the settings on the Privacy item on the Tools menu, I click OK to accept the settings, but when I try to log in I'm told that cookies are not allowed. When going back to the setting, I see that it's not been changed.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How can I set Firefox 8.0 to accept 3rd party cookies ONLY from selected sites but NOT from any other sites?

    I do not like to accumulate 3rd party cookies and would simply not check the Accept 3rd Party Cookies box in Preferences. BUT in order to use my bank's web page I have to accept 3rd party cookies from a separate site that manages some of their transactions (like paying bills). This means I have to accept 3rd party cookies and then delete them by hand OR I have to check the accept box each time I use the bank's website and then uncheck it when I am done.

    Thanks, but that is not what I was trying to do. I do not want to block cookies from a single site. I do not want to block all 3rd party cookies.
    What I want to do is ACCEPT 3rd party cookies only from ONE site but NOT from any other site.

    How can I get Firefox to remember an existing password which was set before Firefox was installed?

    Never mind: I misread your problem.

  • Every time I untick the accept 3rd party cookie box in options/privacy the box gets ticked on next restart

    I want to block 3rd party cookies everytime I untick the accept 3rd party cookies box in the options /privacy tab the box is retick on restart

    Well i have entered firefox in safemode and with all addons disabled and the problem is still there. firefox auto resets to accept 3rd partie cookies on every start even starting in safe mode.
    Considering firefox is supposedly safe this should not be happening the user should be able to have confidence that options remain set as you want them, I know
    everybody says 3 party cookie are not a problem but I dont want them !

  • How to accept 3rd party cookies and turn off my popup blocker?

    All of a sudden I can't get to where I want to go in Safari - the bank helper says to make sure my popup blocker is turned off and that my browser is accepting 3rd party cookies.
    I can't seem to get it done in my system preferences - thanks for any help -

    Open the Security and Privacy tabs of Safari's preferences(not System Preferences) and change the settings.

  • How can I get Firefox to remember a password?

    I was trying to log in to a website but had forgotten my password so I was routed to the security questions. Each time I entered a security question answer, the little Firefox box popped up asking me if I wanted Firefox to remember this "password". Each time I clicked on "Not now" and continued. When I had finally been sent a temporary password, logged into the site and changed the password, I logged out and logged in again. Of course, this time the little box did not pop up offering to remember the password! How do I get Firefox to remember my password?

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save names and passwords and other form data.

  • Why are tracking cookies not blocked by Firefox when accept 3rd party cookies is unchecked?

    I have unchecked 'Accept third party cookies' but my Norton keeps finding and then deleting tracking cookies on my system. What is the problem?

    Hi TalktoWolf, I don't see anything especially unusual about the blog. Have you noticed any problems with Flash media on other sites?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    2. Remove your tvo.org cookies in this dialog:
    right-click this page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the box at the top of the dialog, change mozilla.org to tvo.org and remove those cookies
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Can safari 5.1.5 accommodate a single 3rd party cookie

    My on line bank bill paying  has suddenly, with no notification, started requiring 3rd party cookies to access their bill paying page.  I cannot find any way to accommodate this in either Safari (with cookie manager), nor Firefox 12. If this cannot be done it is serious enuff of an issue that I am considering changing banks.
    Thanks

    Carolyn:  Thanks for your reply.  I probably did not express the true nature of the issue.  I have been using  the banks on line "bill paying" page  with the  "block cookies from third parties etc" checked.  Apparently the bank outsourced this page either to a 3rd party or configured their server differently, and now in order to gain access to that page I have to check the "Never" box, which is totally unacceptable to me.
    What would be a solution  apparently is not available in Safari or "Safari cookie manager".  I would like to be able to "enable" this 3rd party cookie for this site only.  I do not want to leave Safair "open" to ALL 3rd party cookies.

  • How can I get Firefox to remember my AOL sign in & password?

    My wife & I use the same computer and both use AOL for Email. Both of our usernames & passwords would come up on the Email sign in page, so we could just choose the appropriate one. Then a while ago AOL made me change my password, but the password didn't change on the sign in page, so i would have to delete it each time & put in the new one. I didn't realize that the password was stored in Firefox. So yesterday I contacted AOL & they had me click on tools then options then security then saved passwords then highlight https.//my.screenname.aol.com and then delete it. So now when we go to the sign in page, only her info is there, & if I delete hers & put in mine Firefox doesn't ask If I want Firefox to remember the password. I would like to get it back to where it remembers both again. Thank you

  • How can I get firefox to remember my email password every time?

    When I want to check my email I put in my address; sometimes the password comes up correctly. Other times it puts in an incorrect password; when I click on sign in I get a message saying "Your password was changed ____ hours [0r days] ago. Then I have to type in the password. Why can't it consistently remember; usually, first thing in the morning it has the correct password, and occasionally throughout the day, but not always. This is hugely frustrating and annoying to me.

  • How can I get firefox to remember my password?

    I removed my user name and password under stored passwords because the password was changed. How can I get it to store the user name and password again because the pop up for it never shows up?

    If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.<br />
    You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field.<br />
    If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password.<br />
    Use the Remember Password bookmarklet on websites that use "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords.<br />
    You can verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"<br />
    If that didn't work then remove that name and password in the Password Manager and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or after reloading the login page.<br />
    If you have problems to remember a new password then make sure that you remove all entries from that server (look for an empty name as well) and also check the exceptions to make sure that the site is not listed there.

    Hi, I'm afraid Trovi is a browser hijacker, which will mess around with Firefox. Please work through [http://malwaretips.com/blogs/trovi-com-removal/ this article] and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware this article.] Hopefully one or more of the malware removers will fix it.

  • Can't get firefox to remember my e-mail and password for hotmail

    I got a new computer, windows 7 now. firefox won't ask to let me save my login and password for it. I checked and it's not on an exception list. Also now it logs out all the way from facebook when I close the browser. Any help out there?

    You can't make Firefox remember the name and password in the Password Manager because the login form is created via JavaScript and that doesn't work with Firefox.
