In "Preferences"..."Privacy" ..."History" the "Accept Cookies From Sites" options are completely gone. What now?
this is Firefox 20.0 OS desktop
If you see "(Never) Remember History" then that means that all history and cookie settings are set to the default values and thus cookies are enabled.<br />
The "Use custom settings for history" choice allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" selection as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a check mark.<br />
The "Use custom settings for history" choice stays selected if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes from the defaults are made.

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

The charge on my iphone 3g has completely gone, and now it won't charge.How can I turn it on?
my charge has gone and now the phone will not charge now. What can I do? please can someone help. Mick from the UK.
Hi Mick,
The battery could have died...
Plug it in to the Wall Charger for 20 to 30 Minutes, then unplug it and try this...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If still no joy, it may need a New Battery, or it could be time to consider a New Phone...
If nothing works, take it to your nearest Apple Store and they will check it for you...
Cheers, -
Why some sites and not others? Does it have anything to do my security suite, plug ins or add ons? I use Roadrunners CA Internet Security Suite and my OS is WINXP
How did you remove the Firefox profile folder(s)?
Did you remove the profiles.ini file as well?

You need to remove the profiles.ini as well to force Firefox to create a new default profile folder.

I'm unable to save my Local News settings (BBCPostcoder cookie) in the BBC Home Page although my Firefox Privacy settings are set for accepting cookies from sites(there are no exceptions), accept 3rd party cookies and until they expire. The cookie is shown as being stored under the bbc.co.uk menu in the stored cookies folder.
Also, contacted the BBC with this problem and they advised it was an issue with their software that was corrected with a software patch released on 28 Jun 2010.

I set privacy options
- Tell sites I do not want to be tracked
- Use custom settings for history
- Clear history when Firefox closes
(I specify sites to accept cookies in Exceptions)
When Firefox starts again, the 'Accept cookies from sites' is checked again, against my wishes.
ThanksThanks very much, Philipp

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.

Safari on the IPAD has the following problem.
When set to private browsing and only accept cookies from sites I visit does not retain them after I shutdown Safari and then later restart it. I also found out that even if I leave it in background and close the cover of my case it will not retain the cookies even though I did not deactivate it.
Things like email Ids and cookies that contain site specific favorites get deleted.
Here is a site where you can set a series of favorites which get stored as cookies.

when i ask for Authorizeed computer i got the message " make sure your computer' date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the itunes stores " how can i solve this problem please .
Ok, so I just worked out that itunes communicates through your browser so it's a cookie in the browser not PC direct that fixes this. Bit of a convoluted route but for me it was IE>Internet setting>privacy>sites, then allow all activity from apple.com/itunes.

Make sure your computers date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the itunes store
I have not seen an answer to this....but I am having the same trouble.
ANd tes, the date is set correctly and cookies are on. -
The error is saying - make sure your computer date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the itunes stores. I made sure safari can accept cookies and computer date is set. I have 10.5.8 with Itunes 8

I want to do private browsing but only accept cookies from a few websites
I love the private browsing feature, but certain websites require me to turn on cookies. How can I only allow cookies for a limited number of websites (eg. facebook), but block cookies from the 99% of the websites I visit and still be use private browsing.
It seems as though there should be an option to "Accept cookies from only these websites" list that the user can maintain, as I can't figure out any other way to accomplish this.Cookies work the same in [[Private Browsing]] as in normal mode, only all cookies expire if you end PB mode and you do not keep any new cookies permanently. You can set exceptions to site where to keep cookies. Exceptions are kept outside PB mode, unless you remove them yourself ([[Clear Recent History]], Site Preferences).

Firefox 18.0.1 no longer accepts cookies from wells fargo
firefox 18.0.1 does not accept cookies when I open the online site. If I go to tools/options and click OK then the cookies are accepted and I can log on. I have keep until I close Firefox checked. This problem does not occur on other sites like AMEX for example.
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_report_cookies_are_disabled
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the <b>about:permissions</b> page.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-manage-website-permissions
You can remove all stored data from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions from that domain, 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 that "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected 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 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.") -
