Why are tracking cookies not blocked by Firefox when accept 3rd party cookies is unchecked?

I have unchecked 'Accept third party cookies' but my Norton keeps finding and then deleting tracking cookies on my system. What is the problem?

Hi TalktoWolf, I don't see anything especially unusual about the blog. Have you noticed any problems with Flash media on other sites?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
2. Remove your tvo.org cookies in this dialog:
right-click this page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the box at the top of the dialog, change mozilla.org to tvo.org and remove those cookies
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • How can I set Firefox 8.0 to accept 3rd party cookies ONLY from selected sites but NOT from any other sites?

    I do not like to accumulate 3rd party cookies and would simply not check the Accept 3rd Party Cookies box in Preferences. BUT in order to use my bank's web page I have to accept 3rd party cookies from a separate site that manages some of their transactions (like paying bills). This means I have to accept 3rd party cookies and then delete them by hand OR I have to check the accept box each time I use the bank's website and then uncheck it when I am done.

    Thanks, but that is not what I was trying to do. I do not want to block cookies from a single site. I do not want to block all 3rd party cookies.
    What I want to do is ACCEPT 3rd party cookies only from ONE site but NOT from any other site.

  • When will firefox stop supporting 3rd party cookies by default much like Safari does now?

    Safari by default doesn't accept 3rd party cookies and there have been reports that Firefox will follow suit. Any information in terms of the timeline as to when this will come into effect would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,

    You will probably see the change to only allow third-party cookies from visited sites in Firefox 26 (currently on the Aurora update channel).

  • How to accept 3rd party cookies and turn off my popup blocker?

    All of a sudden I can't get to where I want to go in Safari - the bank helper says to make sure my popup blocker is turned off and that my browser is accepting 3rd party cookies.
    I can't seem to get it done in my system preferences - thanks for any help -

    Open the Security and Privacy tabs of Safari's preferences(not System Preferences) and change the settings.

  • Every time I untick the accept 3rd party cookie box in options/privacy the box gets ticked on next restart

    I want to block 3rd party cookies everytime I untick the accept 3rd party cookies box in the options /privacy tab the box is retick on restart

    Well i have entered firefox in safemode and with all addons disabled and the problem is still there. firefox auto resets to accept 3rd partie cookies on every start even starting in safe mode.
    Considering firefox is supposedly safe this should not be happening the user should be able to have confidence that options remain set as you want them, I know
    everybody says 3 party cookie are not a problem but I dont want them !

  • Can't get Firefox to remember to accept 3rd party cookies.

    I need to allow cookies to use several web sites. The web sites won't let me log in without allowing cookies to be set. When I change the settings on the Privacy item on the Tools menu, I click OK to accept the settings, but when I try to log in I'm told that cookies are not allowed. When going back to the setting, I see that it's not been changed.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • HT4743 why are TV series not available on Itunes when they are over 2 years old and are available with Netfox & Lovefilms, E,G The Americans series 1 but not 2 or 3, Revenge series 1 & 2 but not 3. can anyone help were I can download them please

    Itunes is not up to date with these series, Revenge series 3 and The Americans 2 & 3, can anyone help were I can stream this to my Mac or ITV please

    It is up to the content owner as to when, and if, specific content is available on itunes (or any outlet for that matter). Very often a network or production compnat willhave exclusive deals with streaming outlets for a period of time before a seaon of a series is available elsewhere.
    I can't speak to most of the shows you reference, but in the case of The Americans, there has only been one season so far. Season two isn't schedule for broadcast until February of next year.

  • Why are my files not opening in PS, when I select "edit in ps" ?

    The external editor is Photoshop CC 2014 (PSD, Profoto, 16bit, 300ppi).   When I select edit in ps, ps opens but the file does not.  I suspect that I changed a preference somehow in the process of setting up the radial menu for my wacom tablet, or when I deleted Photoshop CC, when I realized that I had both PS CC, and PS CC 2014 on my system.  Would appreciate guidance to make necessary corrections, so files open in PS.

    See Rikk's response above.
    Solution 2: Run a repair mode installation of Photoshop CC 2014 from the Creative Cloud desktop application.

    Check on the setting, as far s i know it was there by going on tools>options> privacy then check it out. If there was no changes, what i can suggest is try to update your firefox.

  • 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? :(

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • What line can I add to prefs.js (firefox v22) ensure that 3rd party cookies are allowed?

    I'm running a program with selenium and it was working fine, then I updated to firefox version 22 and now its throwing my error saying 3rd party cookies need to be enabled. Is there a line of code I can add to prefs.js in order to ensure that 3rd party cookies are enabled?

    Note that current Firefox releases have a new setting to accept third-party cookie from sites that you have visited before.
    *Always : network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 0
    *Never : network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 1
    *Visited: network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 3
    *Block all cookies: network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 2

  • FIREFOX 3.6.3 FOR MAC 10.4.11 tiger NO 3RD PARTY COOKIE BLOCK

    FIREFOX 3.6.3, IDK if this is an update from what I had but it used to be on firefox I could block 3rd party cookies, now, even though I have found directions about how to do it, those choices are not showing up on my computer and so every cookie under the sun is being added and slowing down my computer among other things. i'm using o.s. 10.4.11 TIGER

    To see all the History and Cookie options, select:
    Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
    See [[Options window - Privacy panel]]

  • Changes to 3rd party cookies options are not saved

    I want to change Cookies setting to allow 3rd party cookies because an important website that I access
    frequently says that my browser (Firefox) does not accept these cookies.
    I am following the Firefox Support instructions @
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences#w_how-do-i-change-
    cookie-settings
    Select Options > Privacy tab
    I change the History setting from "Remember history" to "Use custom setting for history"
    "Remember my browsing and download history" is checked
    "Remember search and form history" is checked
    "Accept cookies from sites" is checked
    Accept third-party cookies:" is set to Always and keep until: they expire
    There is no Save button so I click OK
    I close Options then reselect it and I am back to "Remember history" and there is nothing visible for "Accept
    Cookies" and my important website is still won't open.
    It is obvious that my Option changes have not been saved. This seems like you have a bug that needs fixing.

    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" 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.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    *"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    Note that if you clear the cookie settings that such changes only apply to new cookies, so you need to clear existing cookies to make Firefox create new cookies.
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
    *Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
