Firefox does not save cookies in search

When I am in search Firefox does save the sites I visit by changing color. When I visited a site in search the sites that I visited would change color. It is set to save history what else do I need to change.

It used to change color when sites are visited but it does NOT do that now.

  • Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time when I start it although i have already set it so (on Macbook)

    Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time, although i have already set it so (on a Macbook) (newest version)

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • Firefox does not save my tabs or sessions when I shut down my computer

    To be more clear:
    Yes, I have set my options to "show windows and tabs from last time".
    No, I did not check "clear memory on shut down" or "start private session"
    Also, it saves my tabs when I restart the browser, but when I shut down my computer and start up again, Firefox does not show my tabs from last time. The same thing happens with sites I've logged onto before; it logs me out after I shut down my computer.

    Did you check the "Clear Recent History" settings to be sure cthat you do not clear the Browser history and the cookies?

  • Firefox does not save toolbar I made

    Since FF upgraded me to Firefox 23 My tool bars are messed
    Every time I make a new toolbar Via "Customize" > "Add New Toolbar" after I exit it does not save.
    Yes I read over 10 different articles on it.
    1) I deleted the localstore.rdf and started from scratch. After 15 minutes of dragging all the icons to various toolbars I close out of Customize. I then restart Only to find my toolbar not saves and icon missing (placed back into the Customize Box)
    2) Only solution ALWAYS given is going to Safe Mode and resetting everything.
    That requires me to spend 5 hours backing all the settings and data I have saved in the various 189 items loaded.
    Why so many? If not that many I would have to spend 6 hour more all day on my computer doing things that many of these addons do for me. Time is Money.
    3) This is not the first time over the 8 years or so of using Firefox this has occured.
    4) Question why doen't save when you close out of "Customize" than when you exit? Plus what in Firefox is messed up that it is not saving right?

    Nope, I tried it again and added buttons to the New Tool bar I made and everything disappeared once I restarted Firefox up again. So they have not solved it. From FF 23 now on FF26 and it has not been fixed

  • Firefox does not save my settings when I reboot

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate. I was having problems with Firefox 3.6.16 crashing to the point where it wouldn't work. I uninstalled it and downloaded version 4 but had problems with it hanging all the time. I went through the help section, one of the things I did that was recommended was to delete my sessionstore files and any extra copies. I think there were three of them. I deleted them all but Firefox 4 still was hanging.
    I uninstalled 4 and reinstalled 3.6.16 again. Everything seems to be working okay except when I reboot or restart my computer it does not save all of my password logins or any special settings on websites I visit all the time. So every time I start my computer I have to log into all my sites again, and I have a lot of them so this is really a pain. I'm not sure if this has to do with deleting the sessionstore files or not. I checked and I do have one sessionstore file instead of three.
    Not sure what else to try. If I leave my computer on I stay logged in to all my sites and my preferences on those sites are maintained. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

    I have tried to make a backup of the bookmarks file. Renamed the old one and called the backup "bookmarks.html".
    The places.sqlite file is not "secured" (there does not exist a "locked" attribute in the general tab on the Mac), so I assume it is not locked.
    Nothing seems to work. Possibly I can best uninstall Firefox and try to reinstall it, or does that not solve the problem.
    Otherwise I go back to Safari :-)

  • Firefox does not save history and bookmarks and I can't even clear history.

    Hi, I would like to ask some help regarding my firefox.
    At first, I have this Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 where it all started.
    I can't remember really when, but I just noticed that I can't clear my history even though I checked all and selected "Everything". Already tried re-installing FF, still none.
    Then another one is that, it does not save history. All the history it saved were from the past. No new history can be added.
    Please help me..

  • Bank claims firefox does not delete cookies although options set to do it

    I use firefox 20.0.1. I set options to delete cookies when firefox closes. My bank claims to detect previous session cookies on my computer which were not deleted. Basically when their web site detects a new computrer for an account it requires an additional challenge question. I am not getting this expected challenge question. The bank is recognizing the computer although all cookies should have been deleted.

    Are you closing all tabs with that bank site before closing Firefox?
    When you reopen website automatically on a next start then Firefox will store cookies used in those tabs in the sessionstore.js file as part of saved session data, so you won't get logged off when you close Firefox without first closing those tabs.
    If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • Firefox does not save my downloads to my specified folder. It tries to use another folder. How do I correcct this problem?

    When I try to save a download to my specified directory (C:\Downloads) it tells me that (C:\documents and settings\local\temp) can not be changed and for me to change the properties of that folder. I made no changes to any folder regarding downloads. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Thanks for your input. I haven't changed anything in my virus protection to make this happen. It has been saving my downloads now for a couple years without any problems.
    I am really confused as to how this started. If you have any further input, I would appreciate hearing from you.
    Thanks again.

  • Firefox does not save my my.yahoo homepage. It gets saved in IE but not in Firefox. It opens a generic yahoo page and when I start to key my ID it shows it and it has saved my password. This is in Win7, my Vista PC works fine.

    This seems to have started a few weeks ago when I was on ver 3, I changed to ver 8 with the same result. Vista IE, Vista IE and Win7 IE all work correctly.

    In the '''Privacy''' tab under '''History''' you have to change the '''Firefox will:''' option to '''Use custom settings for history'''. If the existing option is '''Remember history''' then changing the settings may not help. The reason for the problem might be different.

  • Firefox does not save my login names

    I got the top bar saying "Do you want FF to remember your 'password' for this page (e.g. Facebook)"? and the 3 options: 'Remember', 'Never for this site' and 'Not now'. I pressed 'Remember' but nothing happens and the bar stays there. If I choose any other option, it disappears but the password is not saved. What can I do? This never happens before and it was working correctly. Thank you.

  • I get the firefox pop up "do you want to remember this password", but it does not save it. There is no "yes" option on the pop up. How can I get Firefox to save my passwords?

    I want Firefox to save my passwords as it has in the past, but now it is not doing so. I am using version 6.0.2, I see the pop up asking to remember the password, but firefox does not save the passwords. What can I do to correct this so FF starts saving my passwords?

    Firefox 4 and later versions place a key icon on the location bar that allows to (re)open the dialog to save the password at any time.<br />
    That pop-up dialog has a button labeled with "Remember Password".<br />
    If you click the arrow next to that button then you see the other choices ("Never Remember Password for this site", "Not Now").<br />

  • I selected save password; but firefox does not have it in the list of saved passwords??

    I selected save password; but Firefox does not have it in the list of saved passwords??

    Firefox will only remember a password if you click the Remember button on the sliding bar at the top that opens when Firefox detects a password.<br />
    If you mean a check box on a web page to remember you then such a choice is stored in a cookie on your computer.
    * Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
    * Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

  • Firefox 3.6.3 does not save any history, does not save passwords. I have read the forum and checked my settings (ok), started in Safe mode (still does not work).

    Firefox 3.6.3 does not save history, nor passwords. I have read the forum and checked my settings in Privacy (all ok), I restarted Firefox in Safe mode (it still does not remember history or passwords). Running on XP. I think these problems started when I upgraded to 3.6.3.

    I had the same problem after an upgrade to 3.6.3.
    I was using password manager for a number of web sites before. Not using cookies but password manager.
    After 3.6.3 auto upgrade it did not work.
    I could not enter private browsing mode.
    When I looked in tools>options>security at my saved passwords the list was blank. The button in the saved passwords dialog that normally says "Show saved passwords" was actually blank (the button was there but there was no text on it).
    I did have my old bookmarks and was able to create new ones but oddly the bookmark all tabs menu function wouldn't work.
    I decided to reinstall firefox 3.6.3. There is no way something with that many bugs got out!
    I was able to get the full firefox executable from http://mozilla.com
    I closed all firefox windows and ran the installation.
    After re-running the install and starting firefox everything was fine. It must have been a bad download or the original install got messed up somehow.
    I hope you have the same good fortune I had!

  • 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 <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
