On clearing recent history, active logins are cleared too , but I have this box unticked

Question

When I go to tools - clear recent history, browsing, forms, cache and cookies are all ticked. I deliberately unticked the active logins box because I did not want these cleared, but they are cleared anyway which is a real nuisance. This did not happen with previous versions of Firefox

Answer 1

-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''Permanent Private Browsing mode''' -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> click '''Exceptions...''' button -> type the addresses of the websites on which you want to '''Allow Cookies''' to be stored e.g. '''login.live.com''' , '''mail.live.com''' , '''hotmail.com''' , '''live.com''' , '''msn.com''' , '''login.yahoo.com''' , '''mail.yahoo.com''' , '''yahoo.com''' , '''mail.google.com''' , '''google.com''' , etc. -> click '''Allow''' for each, One by One 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> '''Keep Until : select''' '''They Expire'''
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
-> When you use '''Clear Recent History''' feature, DO NOT select '''Cookies, Forms and Search History, Active Logins, Site Preferences'''

-> If you use Privacy Cleanup softwares like CCleaner, DON'T SELECT FIREFOX IN ITS SETTINGS. These softwares can be responsible for Deleting your Firefox Settings.
