For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just not) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6). Other sites are fine. I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down. Suggestions?

For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just doesn't) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6). Other sites are fine. I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down. Suggestions?

I don't use Facebook, but I can say that clearing the cache every time you shut down is excessive - unless you're sure the cache is corrupt you should leave it alone. It exists to speed up your browsing experience by loading frequently requested items from your drive rather than downloading them fresh from the internet each time. So, I would say stop clearing your cache and see what happens.
As for clearing cookies: I'm not sure what method you currently use, but I would recommend you download and install CCleaner. It's free, and allows you to build up a list of cookies that you want to clear and those you want to keep, before deleting them.
Both of these may help speed things up by reducing the amount of work Safari has to perform whilst browsing. Regardless, I'd say that, unless there's a reason you've not mentioned for performing the "purging" that you do, making these two changes should see improvements in general web browsing if not specifically when loading Facebook.

Same Cookie Prompts Each Time Firefox Starts

I am running Firefox 28.0 on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. Every time I start Firefox (It crashes frequently) I get the same cookie prompts. On each one the "remember" box is checked. What does this "remember" box signify? If I tell Firefox that I do not want to save a cookie for site X, then I expect that Firefox will remember this, and if I visit the site again, then Firefox will not prompt me to ask if I want to save a cookie for that site.

Do you mean that you use the cookie setting "ask me every time"?
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Cookies
*do not clear the Site Preferences
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.

When I try to delete a cookie; ANY cookie, FFx crashes.

I recently got a rash of unfamiliar cookies, mostly containing the characters "ad". When I try to delete ANY cookie, even cookies I've deleted before, FFx crashes and takes all other windows with it. There are a LOT of these new cookies, 271 by count, and I usually have no more than eight. If I try "delete all", I get the same crash.

Did you install an extension like TACO that adds opt-out cookies?

Dissapearing cookies

I'm having issues with my cookies randomly dissapearing every couple weeks.
Its not 'just one or two websites' it will be the full fleet of them.
One day i'll be logged onto a dozen websites, then the next day i'll have to relog THEM ALL... somewhat of a major inconvenience, having to reinput things like my bank info, a dozen website logins various passwords for safety and remembering all the logins.
I'm not using any 'cookie' cleaner like C cleaner. My antivirus and anti malware are not touching them cus I can still access sites without logging in, after running them... just it seems completely random.
I'm 'pretty' sure its not a setting in firefox that I have changed (since I've checked every setting that i've tried) and they still are randomly dissapearing. Very annoying to go to watch a movie on netflix and have to get my roommate to punch inthe password again because they refuse to tell me it.
It doesn't loose the information... like it saves all my 'email addresses' etc for login MOST of the time... but it randomly unlogs me from all the websites.
IS there any way to disable that or fix it?

My privacy settings was already set to remember history. It remembers things like login names and all that.
while I was unaware of the 'firefox updating' every 6 weeks but it 'may' be that long between dissapearences... sometimes it seems only 2 or 3 weeks.
I haven't 'watched' the cookie manager, to watch the cookies etc, just know that randomly every single website that I am logged into, will just all at once all be logged out at the same time and i gotta relog into them when i get on in the morning.
The only 3 'cleaning' software I have on my comp is Malaware, avast, and Ccleaner which i haven't run in 3 months (really need to).
Its kinda irritating me which is why I finally came to ask you guys, hoping you guys had some 'clue' as to what was going on.

Why does it let me erase only one cookie at a time, or all cookies at once, and not let me select multiple cookies that I want to delete?

Do you not realize that there are HUNDREDS of cookies in the Cookie Jar? I want to save SOME of them (banks, stores, Facebook, etc.) but get rid of the rest. Why have you made it so that I can't click & drag (or otherwise select) multiple cookies for deletion? You're going to make me delete them one at a time? What could possibly be the reasoning for such a decision? Or is it an oversight?

The last Firefox version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 is Firefox 3.6.28.
Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5).

I have a MacBook Pro 13" and am using Airport Time Capsule and iCloud. I delete my cookies all the time, but every so often the cookies reappear after rebooting. It is the exact same amount of cookies each time, so I wonder why they're being reloaded?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" (2010) running OS X 10.9.2 and have Airport Time Capsule. I routinely delete my cookies and often (every couple days or so) when I reboot, a number of cookies reappear in my Safari settings. The number of cookies that reappear is exactly the same when it does it (351 cookies) so I'm wondering if it is related to my Airport Time Capsule or possibly iCloud? How do the cookies get back into my MacBook Pro? Or.... Have they ever actually left? Befoer I reboot, I delete them and sometimes they stay gone for 24hrs or more, but then reappear the next time I reboot. Can someone tell me if there is a way to clear the cookies so they won't come back?

Blocking all cookies in Safari does not work. Deleted cookies will not stay deleted. There are numerous threads on this going back years, both in these forums and elsewhere. Many claim to have submitted the issue to Apple, but I have never seen anyone post a reply.
I have seen many suggested fixes that involve finding the cookies file, some including Terminal manipulations, and none seems to work universally. I can find noplace where Apple addresses this officially with an actual Apple-approved explanation or how-to.
Bottom line, your browser's security features should do what they claim: delete cookies. When they come back without ever even visiting another page, this is clearly not working in the way a reasonable user would expect.
Bottom line, Safari does not protect users' privacy in the way it pretends to and, after so many years of this issue, it appears that Apple wants it this way.
Having spent way too much time on this, I realize the choice is between Safari which is pretty well optimized; Firefox which is a lot pokier, at least for me; and Chrome, which I assume funnels personal information directly to Google.

Since I did the Firefox reset, I try to open my email and it says, Your browser does not accept cookies. I have checked the cookies setting 100 times!

Since I did the Firefox reset, I try to open my email and it says, Your browser does not accept cookies. I have checked and done your suggested setting 100 times!

Note that a reset tries to migrate cookies to the new profile, so if you had previously as problem with cookies then the problem might have been carried over.
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Cookie "ask every time" feature causes some Facebook features to not work while enabled

FF 16.0.2, Windows 7 Home Premium.
Using this feature: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Enabling+and+disabling+cookies#w_how-do-i-change-cookie-settings
I go to Facebook, and the following don't work:
* dropping down the "notifications" menu
* dropping down the "messages" menu
* seeing who "liked" something by hovering over
* the detailed list of events in top right
* the chat feature
When I switch off the "ask" feature (by going "Remember history"), and reload FB, all of the above immediately work. When I switch to "Custom/ask" again, and reload FB, the above don't work again. It's entirely reproducible.

Now every site requires me to answer questions about cookies. Even sites I have used for years. Some site may have as many as 20 cookies to answer. Can I download firefox to correct this and will i loose my bookmarks?

I've picked up a trojan. Neither norton or superantispyware can find the source. when i delete the "ad" files and the index.dat file in user/appdata/roaming/microsoft/windows/cookies and cookies/low they come back the next time i start firefox

The "ad" file names look like they're randomly generated. They look like n6sxx8t5.dat and 038prmz7.txt. I get one for every pop-up ad that is generated. That pop-up ad is generally related to the type of web page i'm on when it triggers. it only occurs once per session. what i don't know is if it is also trying to capture any data i'm entering.
like i said, i've deleted the text and index.dat files, but they keep coming back.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
