Cookies turned on but Firefox refuses to accept cookies

Cookies are turned on in Firefox but I cannot shop through Firefox nor work in an online program, but I can in Safari.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
* "Clear the Cache": Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

My cookies are turned on, but Firefox and other internet browsers aren't saving them, therefore not letting me log into any websites.

I think there is a security error with my computer/browser, help?

It is possible that your firewall is blocking cookies if it happens in other browsers as well.

I'm unable to access my Creative Cloud account. It requests my password but then refuses to accept it. Please help

This has just happened today and has been really frustrating. Creative Cloud logged me out and I've not been able to access it all day.

Firefox will not accept software

I've tried all the solutions in the help section to fix this, and I even have UAC disabled on Windows 7 64 bit, but no matter what I do, Firefox refuses to accept software. Every time it says software install is disabled and tells me to enable it.

My security software controls the license verifications, firefox refuses to acknowledge this.

I am running BitDefender Total Security 2012, it manages all the licensing and verification for websites. BitDefender has a root kit that it keeps trying to give to firefox to show that the site has already been verified by BitDefender, but firefox will not accept it. Any website that requires a user name and password, including gmail, facebook, and websites for my school (I am an IT student at the local community college) firefox refuses to load it saying that it can't verify the site when BitDefender already verified it. Instead of loading the page it just shows the box with the yellow man holding a flag. How do I make FireFox comply?

Google blogs says that my cookies functionality is turned off, but in the privacy section it says "accept cookies from sites until they expire"--so I don't know what the problem is. is

When I go to post on a google blog and it asks me to sign in, I get a message that says that my cookies fuctionality is turned off, but when I go to firefox, to preferences and privacy, "accept cookies from sites until they expire" is checked. I don't understand why I am getting this google message which is preventing me from posting, as it seems that the cookies functionality is properly turned on.
Please advise

In my experience this is most of the times a server issue of the website provider.
Does this error occur on all Websites or just one specific Website?

Yahoo mail login says Firefox won't accept cookies but my option is too accept cookies - so what's wrong?

My wife and I can't log into our Yahoo e-mail accounts (or, I guess, our Yahoo account). Whenever we try, we get the message: "The browser you're using refuses to sign in (cookies rejected)".
However, my cookies setting in Firefox is: 1) accept cookies 2) accept third-party cookies 3) keep cookies until they expire.
A few days ago I did change the cookie settings to 1) accept cookies from sites 2) do not accept cookies from sites 3) ask me every time. I also deleted a lot of cookies I didn't recognize or didn't want. I did this because I was (and still am) having trouble with a re-direction virus.
So if anyone has any suggestions as to what needs to be done to make Yahoo e-mail accessible again I would very much appreciate their advice.
I thank everyone for their advice in advance.
Thanks a million.

I want to configure Firefox to only accept cookies from a specific list of websites, but my "Allow Exceptions" list is deleted when Firefox closes.

I want to configure Firefox to only accept cookies from a specific list of websites, but my "Allow Exceptions" list is deleted when Firefox closes. (Firefox 5.0)

@dmcritchie:
''How do you expect to keep cookies for certain sites, if you wipe out all of your cookies when the session ends or you clear the same history through the Tools menu''
If you mean from session-to-session, I don't expect it to keep cookies. That's the whole point. Every time Firefox is opened, I want it to write a new cookie, and keep that cookie until it closes and no longer than that. (Perhaps I should clarify: I don't mean session in the networking sense but rather in the period of time when one starts using Firefox until Firefox closes.) The behavior I want is for it to be able to write cookies when open, but only for specific sites, and then forget about them on close.
I should also mention that your responses are worthless to me because you don't explain anything. For instance, the quote above is ''not'' obvious from your reply of "Make sure you are not clearing cookies". You need to explain this; what is obvious in a reading for you is not obvious for everyone.
Furthermore, how is "Site Preferences" related to "everything on the right-side"? (Not to mention that it's unclear what you mean by "right-side.")

Error message says redirecting to never ending loop may be due to refusal to accept cookies. How do I fix it?

I was trying to sign into Netflex. I entered all info and then enter, but got a message something to the effect that Firefox was redirecting my attempt in ways that would never complete. Suggested that it might me due to refusal to accept cookies. I remember yesterday it had asked to allow a cookie from somewhere but said I already had many cookies from them, so I clicked on disallow.

Web site still says that Firefox doesn't accept cookies

Hi,
The web page mail.hitmessaging.net/ suddenly says that Firefox doesn't accept cookies so I followed all your instructions on this page
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites%20say%20cookies%20are%20blocked
and restarted the browser and then the computer but the problem remains. I clicked OK after having changed the settings in "Tools"-"Privacy" exactly as you recommend (I have double-checked) but when I open that menu again the changed settings haven't been saved. The setting is still "Remember history" instead of "Use customer settings for history" no matter how many times I try to change the setting. I'm using the Swedish version of Firefox 6 and I didn't have this problem with any home page before upgrading to Firefox 6.
Best regards,
Claes Vestermark

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

I did not forget my lock code but somehow, my phone refuses to accept it and kept me locked out. Is this iOS7 bug?

i did not forget my lock code but somehow, my phone refuses to accept it and kept me locked out. Is this iOS7 bug?

i honestly do not know. this is really frustrating. I am a simple user who mostly just call and text.. i tried to follow the apple instructions in restoring iphones but some time during the process.. my phone restarts and loses the itunes connection symbol and displays the usual apple icon and then proceeds to opening the main page..
