Firefox isn't saving my privacy (cookies) settings

So, I'm trying to get stuff off of mod the sims, and it tells me to check my browsers cookies, so I do, and I change it, but the changes don't stay, also firefox isn't keeping me logged in to websites when I tell it to remember me.

  • Firefox isn't saving my history, even though privacy settings are set to remember history.

    Firefox isn't saving my history. I'm not in private browsing mode and remember history is selected under the privacy settings. This only started after I updated to the latest version. All pre-update history is lost, too.

  • Firefox won't save privacy cookie settings.

    I had a virus infect one of my home PCs. It came up as "Windows 7 Security 2012" and I could not do anything without that virus popping all kinds of authentic looking security screens.
    I finally wound up using another of my PCs (which I am using now), to go into microsoft website, and download a scanner and malicious software removal programs onto a flash drive, which I then ran in safe mode on the infected PC. It seems to have worked, but now the problem I have in Firefox is as follows:
    I cannot save privacy cookie settings. I don't want to set cookies on and I uncheck them in the privacy window. However, everytime I exit and reopen Firefox, the cookies are reverted to check marks. I tried the steps of deleting prefs files, and that did not work. I also upgraded to latest level of Firefox because it had been a while since I updated the browser.
    None of that worked, and everytime I use Firefox, first thing I do is set privacy and turn cookies, which is too late anyway because I have to also delete the cookies that were set as Firefox was coming up.
    This is the first time I have had problem with Firefox, but I also realize it could be because of the virus. I don't know what else to do because I upgraded Firefox and tried the suggested support steps for "Preferences not saved". I hate this also because I have to resort to Windows Internet Explorer, something I absolutely loath. Please help!!!!!

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Firefox isn't saving my tabs

    I need to start off with the warning that I have no clue what I'm doing and the work I've done so far was based on other people's advice or information I found on MozillaZine. This problem started after I downloaded the latest version of Firefox.
    So... Firefox isn't saving my tabs and I think I know why, but I'm not 100% sure. (I have it saved that I want to restore my previous session whenever I open Firefox.) I went to about:config and went to look for browser.sessionstore.enabled to see if that was messed up, but the file wasn't even there. Obviously, I'm assuming that's the problem. If anyone could tell me if it sounds like I'm on the right track that would be great.

    The pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.enabled browser.sessionstore.enabled] is no longer used in Firefox 3.5 and later (bug 449596).
    Remove that pref if you still have it via the right-click context menu and choose Reset.
    Check that Session Restore is enabled.
    You can look at the 'browser.sessionstore' prefs on the '''about:config''' page and reset prefs that show as bold (user set).

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5/6 or [[Clearing private data|Clear Private Data]] in Firefox 3 to clear the 'Browsing History' when Firefox is closed then restoring tabs from the last session (e.g. "Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • Firefox doesn't recognize my cookies anymore. I see the cookies in Preferences/Privacy, but Firefox isn't using them.

    I have to log into all my sites all over again. My cookies aren't recognized. I see the cookies when I go to FF Preferences Privacy tab. But Firefox isn't using them: I have to log in to sites I've previously visited. Firefox just started doing this suddenly: no crash preceded it. What to do?

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    *Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
    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 is not saving one of my email addresses and password (it is saving three of four). It isn't asking me if I want to save it, and there's no "Save" command under tools. I have a Mac OS10.4.11.

    I have four accounts with btes.tv (served by WorldClient). Firefox asked if I wanted to save my password with three of the accounts, but it hasn't asked with the fourth. I have re-done preferences/security/save passwords several times to no avail. I don 't know what else to do.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • Some cookie settings lost each time Firefox closes

    Hi there,
    Some of my Cookie settings are lost each time Firefox restarts. These specifically relate to web addresses I have entered as Exceptions to the Cookie settings in the Privacy settings tab. I will find that they have been deleted and will have to re-enter them each time. This is annoying if you want to use certain websites that require third-party cookies but you also want to maintain a high privacy level. For example, when using Feedly. Additionally, sometimes my Persona is disabled when Firefox is restarted and I have to re-enable it manually. This problem is sporadic.
    I have a number of add-ons installed but this problem is very recent and these add-ons have not proved a problem before. Anyone else with the same problem? Is it a bug or a setting I can fix? Please help.
    Thanks!

    Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

  • Firefox shows the saved password to all... i want a privacy for this saved password..

    Firefox shows the saved password to all... i want a privacy for this saved password..
    the master password what they r giving is not at all useful... it is not used for the saved password..
    Please give a master password to get access for the saved password...
    If any body others comes and sees the saved password in the system they can easily see the saved password....
    == Operating system ==
    XP

    If you use a Master Password then your passwords can only be accessed after you have supplied that MP during a session.
    You will be prompted to enter the MP the first time it is needed in a session.
    You can logout from the Software Security Device (e.g. click Cancel in the "Show Passwords" dialog) to force re-entering the MP once again.

  • Since upgrading to 3.6.10 I cannot log onto my bank. Checked all cookie settings and all is as it should be. Bank says this is a Firefox problem?

    Since I upgraded to v 3.6.10 I get asked a "security challenge" when I try to log on to one particular bank that I deal with. Other banks work OK. Bank advises the there is a problem with FF 3.6.10 not remembering cookies. I have checked all cookie settings and cleared all cookies and history to start over. Still won't work. Any help would be appreciated.

  • My automatic sign-in and location (eg for news and weather) details do not stick, despite all history and cookie settings being set never to clear, unlike with Firefox 3x..

    I can set location on www.bbc.co.uk for local news and weather but details are no longer retained between browsing sessions. I have checked the history and cookie settings and they are not supposed to clear anything. A similar problem exists with a site where I want to stay signed in so that I am automatically recognised in a new browsing session; this does not work. These problems seem specific to Firefox 4 because they did not exist with Fx 3, using the same settings. I have also checked add-ons; disabling them makes no difference.

  • Cookies are not saved (login info, cookie acceptance, bank cookies etc)

    Cookies are not being saved. examples: if I log into the telegraph site the login does not persist, if I accept the cookies from The Register I get asked again, If I set my location on the BBC news site it resets, the same with my bank website.
    I have tried:
    disabling all add-ons
    resetting firefox
    uninstalling and reinstalling firefox (no add-ons at all)
    deleting my user config files
    deleting anything to do with firefox and reinstalling
    unsyncing firefox
    I'm tearing my hair out now lol. It's making it impossible to use firefox (especialy with banks that set a cookie to recognise the pc etc)
    Any ideas what could be wrong or what else to try to locate the problem?

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
