HT5568 cookies are not being blocked

This ***** so bad, the cookies on Safari are not being blocked on my Mac Lion 10. 7.5? What's going on. I can be on for 2 minutes and not visit a website but still have 45 cookies including one saved to my local cache. I though Macs were supposed to be better than this.

Do you have a question?
If it's about blocking cookies, then may I assume you have disabled all cookies via Safari preferences; that the browser is set to block cookies always?
If you're concerned about tracking (I don't know why you're asking about cookies), you could choose to enable and use Private Browsing option.
Realize too that there are other and very effective ways to track clients without cookies; whether using Flash Cookies or so-called super-cookies or via EFF's Panopticlick techniques.

Cookies are not being cleared when I close the browser although the option is set. Any suggestions?

Under Options; Privacy I have Clear history when Firefox closes ticked and within the Settings for Clearing History I have Cookies ticked. Cookies are not being cleared when I close the browser. Windows 7, SP1 x64

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.

Suddenly my online IDs, and many website preferences, and/or cookies are not being saved despite trying all the various privacy settings

In the past week, perhaps since I downloaded a new Firefox update my cookies are getting deleted every time I close or restart Firefox. I have cleared the cache and my tracking setting is at "Do not tell sites anything about my tracking" although I have also tried the other tracking settings as well. I have "accept cookies from sites" checked although I have "accept third-party cookies" on Never. I have "Keep Unti"l at "they expire" I have removed all extensions. This just suddenly started happening about a week ago although I can't recall changing any settings or installing any other software. The problem only seems to affect Firefox as Safari still remembers my online IDs etc. Is there a bug in the most recent Firefox update for Mac desktops?

Note that this can be caused by a corrupted cookies.sqlite file.
If it happens again then try to 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.

Popups are not being blocked

Popups are redicuolously coming up now, and yes I have "Block popups" checked

Could be caused by malware on your system. See - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware

You need to update "Shockwave for Director" (aka Shockwave Player, not Flash)
*Check your Plugins - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*Download link - http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/thankyou/
*Also see - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shockwave

Popups are not being blocked and the malware does not stop them. I have gone through the process of troubleshooting.

I have tried everything from the troubleshooting guide including downloading software for malware. It did not work. The popups come labeled as Firefox and others.

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and try

Cookies are not being removed

I have tried several times and used different methods of removing the cookies and other website data from Safari without success. I have Reset Safari and gone through the Privacy tab within Preferences. Is there anything else I need to know how to edit my website data history.

Hi..
The cookiees issue with Safari has been long discussed on these forums and so far Apple hasn't engineered a better way to handle cookie maangement. And Apple discontinued support for Safari for Windows.
You'd be better off using Firefox > Install Firefox on Windows | Firefox Help

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":
*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
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
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.
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.

In Safari go to preferences click on privacy and on Block Cookies tick the never box

Cookies turned off and cleared, but 3rd party cookies are still being shared after Firefox v16.0.1 update

after firefox updated from v15.0.1 to v16.0.1 on Friday (10/19/12), collusion v0.22 shows 3rd party cookies being shared, and a lot of them. I have firefox in "always use private browsing mode", with cookies not allowed, in addition there are no entries in "exception" or in "show cookies". The check boxes for cookies and 3rd party cookies are NOT checked.
This behavior never happened before the update!
I re-installed v15.0.1, but it is still happening.
Rana full sys scan with the latest Norton Security, which found nothing. Tried a few others too, so I'm semi-certain that my system is not infected.
System: Acer 5251-1245 with windows 7 (current patch levels up to date).
What changed with v16.0.1 update? Did Collusion change?
why are 3rd party cookies being shared, and how is it doing it?
Is there a way to check to see if other browsers have the same issues? e.g. chrome, explorer (yuck!), safari, etc....
I've really liked Firefox, but I am afraid to use it, especially to shop online or any financial stuff (banks, credit card payments, etc.).
Maybe I was better off in blissful ignorance before installing collusion earlier this year, but I only ever saw the 3rd party cookie sharing when I had "cookies" turned on without turning on "Accept third-party cookies".
Again, what changed?

only add-on extensions are "Collusion v0.22" and "Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon v0.4".
The issue never happened until Friday 10/19/12 after the Firefox v16.0.1 update, and was noticed by me on Saturday while using the Firefox to check my work schedule (which sets only its cookie and does not share, but it did and got me worried).
Still wondering if Collusion updated too, and now I'm seeing new behavior.
I do not want to share cookies, which is why I turn them off, and never turn on "share third party cookies".
Do I need to stop using Firefox? :(

My Usernames Passwords are not being saved, the pop up question about saving a password or not never shows. Please let me know how I can fix this problem.

My usernames and passwords are not being saved. I never get the prompt:
"Do you want Firefox to remember the password?"
I've tried the help screens but I can't find the answer. Please let me know how this can be fixed.
Thanks,
Doug Clarke

Make sure that you have set Firefox to remember passwords.
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

Firefox is not remembering passwords for sites that i visit regularly. Ihave checked the box "remember passwords for sites" in the security tab under tools, but the passwords are not being remembered when I return to the sites.

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.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
* 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 exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Cookies are not read

Dear sirs,
I develop a web-site which uses cookies. A captcha and log-in state of the site depend on cookies. For unknown reasons the cookies are not read programmatically now by the site. Using an add-on, I see that cookies are being written, but not read. Everything worked just before I updated FF to 35.0
I tested my site in major browser, everything works fine in IE, Safari, Opera, Opera Mobile and MS Page Inspector. But in FF and Chrome cookies are not read.
If you want me to email you my cookies.sqlite, I can do it, it is just around 1MB. Thanks.

Does document.cookie show these cookies if you paste this command in the command line in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer)?
You can enable the Storage tab in the Web Console by clicking the toolbar settings (gear) icon and use the storage inspector to check what cookies are created.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Tools_Toolbox#Settings
You can check in the Web Console if there are (JavaScript) error messages about this issue.
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 sure to backup this data or make a note.
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.

My guess is it's either a corrupt cookie or you have some add-on blocking cookies.
We'll need some more info about your Firefox setup. Go to '''Help > Troubleshooting Information''' then click '''Copy all to Clipboard'''. Open a reply to this post, and go to '''Edit > Paste''' to paste the info from your Troubleshooting Information page.
