Firefox will not allow cookies?

I'm really not sure what's going on with my Firefox. I'm trying to use Google Scholar and it keeps telling me that I need to enable cookies to use it properly (add libraries, change settings etc).
By default, my cookie settings are:
Use custom settings for history > Accept cookies from sites > Accept third-party cookies (From visited), Keep until (I close Firefox).
And I've never had a problem with that before. But no matter what I do now, I can't get it to work...
THINGS I'VE TRIED (in no particular order):
- Changing cookie preferences to: Use custom settings for history > Accept cookies from sites > Accept third-party cookies (Always), Keep until (They expire).
- Clearing all cookies and cache (via clearing history)
- Clearing cookies individually: Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
- Clearing the Cache: Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
- Resetting Firefox
- Deleting cookies.sqlite from my profile
- Clearing history for that site: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-say-cookies-are-blocked-unblock-them#w_clear-history-for-that-site
I'm at a complete loss. Despite all of this it STILL tells me I need to enable my cookies...Is there anything that anyone can suggest to me to fix this??

You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
You can try to clear the Site Preferences or possibly rename or delete the permissions.sqlite file.

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
You can also try to access the website in New Private Window.
You can check if DOM Storage is enabled.

Are there any specific errors about this website in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer)?

When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

Question
When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My system needs internet explorer for a application I need to down load, however I need to down load the latest yahoo tool bar for internet explorer to work properly and firefox will not allow the down load of yahoo toolbar. How do I fix this?

I have not used Internet explorer since downloading firefox and I need IE for a trading platform that I need to use. In order to get IE working I apparently need to down load the latest version of Yahoo toolbar, however when I try to down load the tool bar Firefox will not allow the down load of that file.

Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread. Thank You again, I just can not say it enough.

Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

Question
Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. Every site that uses Flash player gives me a message saying that I need to update to the latest version of Flash player, but I have done so, and I keep getting the same message. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

You can hold down the Shift key and double click the Firefox desktop icon to start Firefox in [[Safe mode]].

Firefox will not allow me to view my own domains. Other people can see them.How do I get access?

Every since I got my new computer, running windows 7, firefox will not allow me to see my own domains. If I unplug Netgar and plug directly into the Wild Blue modem, I can see them with IE or Chrome - but still not with Firefox.
My Old computer, running XP can see my domains via the Netgear router. Computers running Vista cannot
GoDaddy is my host.

Hi cor-el,
Thanks for the reply. I tried those things with no result. Then I followed the link you sent and found something that MIGHT be the answer if I can find someone to show me how to "send a ping" and "define the subnetmask."
I have no idea what a subnetmask is, let alone how to define it!
But I do feel that the problem has some connection to the router. My old computer has one IP address, while the 3 that won't work all share a different one.
It would really help if I spoke "compuetreze," but I don't.
Thanks again,
Marte

Firefox will not allow me to access the area of this site to allow me
to finish the process to download books.

Thank you!
Here are my answers, as best I know how to present them:
1. I can see a big red "f". It's not flashing or moving or anything. Does that count as animation?
There is also an empty box with an X in the corner, as if a pop-up is blocked, or something.
2. I see 2 things under Adobe, called Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper and Adobe PDF Link Helper, both enabled.
3. I see Flash10m.ocx; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX; Get Flash; swflash; FlashInstall; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.dll; and install.
(#2 and #3 took me to places I'd never been before. ha ha)

Firefox will not allow me access to their help area

In Firefox 4 it will not allow me to set my home page.
It just shows former home pages. And yes, I do go to options, general and attempt to change to current page displayed.
Firefox 4 is not a bad browser but it is irritating that the arrogance of MS is starting to be reflected in their upgrades.
They have initiated Firefox 4 without any real attempt to help with existing add ons that do not show up.
They attempt to load more toolbars on us when most of us want less.
Please, just try to be consumer orientated, as you have been before 4, and stop trying to be MS, with all their arrogance and ignorance.

I currently do not have any other browser functioning other than Mozilla

Firefox will not allow Screen Saver...Why?

Windows came up with new Wallpapers and Screen Savers, and I decided to change mine.
The Wallpaper on my Desktop page loaded quickly. But when I select a Screen Saver, then click on "OK", it appears to be in place. Only, it's not!! When I go back into "Control Panel", I find that my Screen Saver is blank, again. I re-set it just like I previously did, and clicked
on "OK". Four Times I've re-set Screen Saver, but it doesn't register
or.........Firefox is not allowing it.

You're welcome. I look forward to the day that Mozilla writes all new print-related code so we don't have to deal with problems like this.

Why does my antivirus software BitDefender 2011 say that Firefox will not allow the anti phicshing tool to be enabled?

When installing Bitdefender 2011, updated from 2010 version a message was received to say that the most recent version of Firefox does not allow the anti phisching tool to be installed. I am concerned that this leaves me open to attack. I use Firefox because I believed that it was more secure than Internet explorer but am now not sure. Please advise.

Firefox '''''comes with''''' Phishing protection as a standard feature.

See Bitdefender for a Firefox 6.0 compatible version of their Firefox add-on.

Firefox will not allow use of my Outlook 2003 email even when default it tries to use Windows Live.

Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Win7, Outlook 2003 email. Firefox will not use my Outlook email even when set as the default, or when "always asked" is used. Always tries to open Windows Live when "sending link", or with website hyperlinks for email.

This has all been done and the problem persists.
It tries to open Outlook first, then the message "Navigation to this webpage was cancelled" and it proceeds to open Windows Live mail.
I don't know if the problem is with Outlook or Firefox..

I have lost lmy AOL toolbar and Firefox will not allow me to install it

I have lost my AOL toolbar and I can no longer cut and paste when I am in AOL through Firefox. This happened after I installed your newest upgrade to Firefox. Very weird. When I try to install the AOL Toolbar it says that Firefox will not let me install it because the AOL toolbar is corrupt. But I was able to install the AOL toolbar when I went through Internet Explorer. I like going in through Firefox but I may have to go in through Internet Explorer.

I suggest you go to Apple's ID site, log in and update everything. Then you will surely get a confirmation mail.
Once all is done, you will most probably be able to log in to the iTunes store again.

Firefox will not allow me to change the zip code on the Walmart website.

When I follow a link to Walmart it automatically puts in an incorrect My Store location and zip code. I change it, close Firefox, re-open and try again. Same thing. It does not do that with other browsers. I have removed cookies several times, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but nothing seems to work.

Details like this are stored in a cookie.
Try to "Remove Cookies" Walmart cookies and check that they are still gone after closing and restarting Firefox:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Also make sure to close all tabs with the Walmart site to prevent Firefox from storing them in the sessionstore.js file as part of session data.
It is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted if clearing cookies doesn't work.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

I cannot browse the web because firefox will not allow it. How can I change this or get rid of firefox

When I put any word on the Google Firefox like "staples" or anything, it comes back to me that it is an
unsecure site and it will not connect me. I have been dealing with this for a week now and it only
happened when Yahoo tried to take over my google and I did a restore with firefox. I am 68 years old
and not really experienced with these computers and do not know what to do.

Actually, I don't think robots are allowed to register as contributors on this forum...
Could you describe this problem in more detail. In particular, are you getting search results from Google, but then you can't visit the links in the results, or are you not able to get any Google search results?
Does it make any difference if you start from the Google home page: https://www.google.com/ ?
