Where is the cookie exception list in Firefox 17.0.1

i'm looking for the cookie exception list that seems to have moved in later versions. I'm having trouble with Facebook and yahoo mail in that Firefox is showing those sites in frames. If I reset Firefox it works fine, but I am tiring of resetting it twice a day to read my email. It was suggested to add these sites to the cookies exception list - except that it's not where it used to be.

Hi,
You can try setting '''Firefox will:''' to '''Use custom settings for history''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Privacy%20panel?as=u Privacy] to reveal the '''Exceptions''' button.

  • "Clear Recent History..." wipes cookies and! the cookies exceptions list although the cookies box is not ticked

    Clicking "Clear Recent History..." wipes all cookies and even worse the cookies exceptions list although the cookies box is not ticked.
    Problem persist across restarts of Firefox and reboots of the OS.

    The exceptions are part of the "Site Preferences".
    Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Cookies' and the 'Site Preferences'.
    You need an allow exception for cookies that you want to keep.

  • Ability to search the cookie exceptions list

    After years of using the Firefox with the "ask me every time" option on cookie setting, I have ended up with a cookies exceptions list with thousands of entries. And yet there is currently no way to do a pattern matching search/find on the exceptions list. So whenever I need to find a domain/site address in the list that I am not sure about the full name of the particular address, I'll need to go through the long long list one by one to try to find it, and many times, not able to find it at all because this is an almost impossible manual task. There should be a way to do a pattern matching search/find on the exceptions list. This is essential to really able to manage a long long exceptions list with more than just a few hundreds of entries.
    I understand that currently you can type the first few characters and it will take you to the entry that with the first few characters matching what you have typed. But this is not nearly enough to really be able to find an entry that you only know part of it's name or address. A true pattern matching search/find on any part of any and all entries, similar to the "Edit"->"Find" feature for web contents, would be essential.

    What's needed is something like
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1243/
    but the reviews about crashing make it a non-starter.
    Perhaps it could be enabled only when needed? I won't be testing that
    so don't wait for me.
    This should have been in Firefox ever since they changed to SQLite,
    it's so obviously needed.
    I've been searching for a very long time and I'm surprised that
    the previous post of 9/07/2010 is the first I've come across.
    To help Google I'm adding "whitelist" clnee's subject line has
    everything else I would think of.
    My current solution is to "remove" every site that is blocked and
    go from there. Also, I've recently added HttpFox addon to watch
    cookies but I haven't used it more than a few minutes yet. It looks
    useful if it doesn't slow things down. A more comprehensive addon is
    Firebug but it is way more than I want to see.
    One other feature Firefox could add would be to sort by time, since
    the cookies of interest would be recent and, for checkout payment,
    usually have no part of the name in common with the original
    site. HttpFox might be useful here.

  • Cookie Exception List - How do you save it, copy it, and reload it to another instance of Firefox on a differenst machine?

    Cookie Exception List - How do you save it, copy it, and reload it to another instance of Firefox on a different machine? What is the file name/s that are used?
    I have to upgrade machines regularly and do not wane to have to re-type all those blocked cookie address' into each new instance of Firefox.

    The file "permissions.sqlite" stores 'allow' and 'block' exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and extensions (software) installation.

  • Where are the cookies stored in Firefox 7.0.1, WinPatrol nor I can find them.

    Where is the cookies file in Firefox 7.0.1? What is it called?
    WinPatrol nor I can seem to find it. Is it called something else? WinPatrol worked fine with Firefox 3.

    Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

  • Where did the iPhone Calendar list function(s) go with iOS7? The Calendar has gone all 'spread sheet' on me and definitely not user friendly. Please advise.

    Where did the iPhone Calendar list function(s) go with iOS7?  The Calendar has gone all 'spread sheet' on me. If you select an item (grey dot) from the month display it will open up the 'spread sheet' at the current time of day, not necessarily when the calendar entry takes place.  I liked iOS6 where you could turn your iPhone to landscape mode and get that special 'spread sheet' feel if that's what you're into.  Has a 'List' presentation been removed from the iPhone Calendar with iOS7?

    The List view is displayed by tapping the Search magnifying glass.

  • Where is the cookie manager on Firefox. Can I set Firefox to ask me first to allow individual cookies?

    I read the follow article.
    http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/psm/help_21/using_priv_help.html
    In this article under "Managing Cookies Site-By-Site" It said
    "To control cookies on a site-by-site basis:
    1. Open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy & Security, and then choose Cookie Manager.
    2. Choose "Unblock Cookies from this Site" or "Block Cookies from this Site."
    When you are warned (while browsing) that a web site is requesting to set a cookie, you can click Yes to allow or No to deny the cookie. You can also select the option for your browser to "Remember this decision."....
    My questions is 1. I can't find the cookie Manager in firefox (I have the latest version). The article said "Open task menu, choose Privacy&Security... is that they same as under menu bar, tools, options, privacy (but under this option I don't see the cookie manager mention in the article. (I am thinking what they are describing is not for the version of firefox I have?).
    Bottom lines, I want to set Firefox so It will ask me each time the website want to install a cookie and for me to decide to allow that or not. I article above seem to describe how to do that but either I am looking in the wrong place or I am not doing it right.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I think that what you are searching be in Tools >> Options >> Privacy >> On Firefox will: change to "Use custom settings for history" then Button Show Cookies will be allowed and you will see the cookies in your browser in the next window
    If you uncheck "Accept cookies from sites", probably the sites that need cookies will alert you that you need active the storage cookies

  • ALLOWED Cookies Exception List does not retain entries from session to session.

    YES, I've searched the KB for an answer...no joy. I want to manage my cookies by adding the few sites that I want to allow cookies for, with all other sites being denied, and me being prompted every time a site wants to dnld a cookie. I believe I understand all the available settings, but I can't bet FF to retain the list of allowed sites from session to session, and sometimes FF won't retain them even immediately after I save them. I never had a problem with FF3, but now I'm having this problem with FF4.

    Issue unsolved. Hoping to receive deeper analysis.
    Thank you cor-el, that's a good suggestion, but, something I already knew. I didn't execute Clear Recent History...Clear Recent History is NOT the cause of the problem.
    Additional Information: In Options\Privacy\History my settings are: "Use custom settings for history", Permanent Private Browsing mode = ON, Accept cookies from sites = OFF. Should I expect to be able to click on the Exceptions button, and enter urls into the exceptions pop up window as ALLOW, and expect them to be there in subsequent FF sessions? I've noticed that the Exceptions pop up window does not have an "OK" button as I would expect from observed FF convention...should there be one? After entering a url, my only choice is a "Close" button or the Red "X".
    Follow on question: Is it possible that a data error occurred during install, preventing an applet from loading correctly, which would prevent the retention of list entries into the permissions.sqlite file? My permissions.sqlite file is located where the KB says it should be, shows a size of 2K, and a Date Modified of today. Note: I have continued to try to enter and save urls into the Exceptions List with an ALLOW value with no success.
    Or, perhaps I should migrate back to FF 3.xx?

  • Where are the downloaded files saved in Firefox Andriod App?

    Hi Arsalan_Azhar,

  • Where are the authentication passwords stored in Firefox?

    I created a web site which was set up with a password and I have forgotten it.
    When using the URL it requires authentication the field has dots so password must be stored somewhere in Firefox but where?
    Peter

    It is quite possible that this website displays those dots (bullets) as some default place holder if they appear in the password field.
    Does Firefox fill a user name as well?
    You can inspect and manage the saved passwords here:
    *Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

  • Where is the equivelant of favourites in firefox versus IE

    I am new to firefox, always used IE. Question, where is the equivelant of favourites bar in firefox, is it called something different. I changed to firefox because of several problems with IE9.

    In Firefox, they are called Bookmarks. There is a Bookmarks menu, a Bookmarks sidebar, and a Bookmarks toolbar. If you tap the Alt key to display the classic menu bar, you can display/hide the sidebar and the toolbar from the full View menu.

  • Where is the latest STABLE version of Firefox?

    I want the latest STABLE version of Firefox. I'm not interested in BETA versions. But, Mozilla is doing a good job of hiding the latest stable version and forcing customers into its ever-changing unstable Beta system. Can anyone tell me which version of Firefox is the newest STABLE version; and where can I find it? Thank you for your assistance!

    If you are getting updates in Firefox to a Beta build (of 34.0bx) then you installed what was one of the Beta builds of a version in past (to be on Beta channel) and not a Release before. There are on average six to twelve Beta builds for a version with nine being the average in last while.
    '''on www.mozilla.org only the current Release is served''' as you would have to go out of way to a page that serves Beta builds to then download them. Mozilla would never force people to use one of the Beta builds for a version instead of Release.
    The current Beat build of a version is only on and is clear it is not the Release.
    https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#beta
    https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/beta/all/
    Firefox 34.0 is scheduled for release on November 25.

  • Where is the drop down list with "edit web part" for a list??

    In Sharepoint 2010, there was a drop down list to the far right of a list.  One of the options was to Edit Web Part.  In Sharepoint 2013, I can't find the drop down list.  Nothing is to the right of my list and mouse overs down't reveal
    anything.  I am trying to get to that area to change my toolbar type.  Any clues as to where the "edit web part" has gone to?

    I've been able to edit Web Part properties for weeks, but a few days ago, I could no longer do it, either by using the checkbox in the upper right corner of the web part or by using Web Part Properties in the Web Part tab.  It's greyed out.
    Then yesterday I could do it again and today I can't.   An intermittent problem!
    No one has changed any Sharepoint Admin settings.
    Anyone have any ideas?  They would be greatly appreciated.
