Why Firefox doesn't store cookies enough?

I am using some websites that I used to visit before with old version of Firefox and I had to delete those website cookies but it takes to long to cookies stored that much and need to be delete. but in new version I have to delete the cookies after a few times visiting those websites. What is the problem. It really freaks me out.

Cor-el,
Deleting the cookies.sqlite file didn't help. I also tried disabling my extensions (I only had one enabled), and addons, both were unsuccessful. Earlier you said firewalls and anti-virus programs might cause a problem. What should I do about that? Is it possible that I'm being spyed on by someone? Thanks so much for all your help.

Web site still says that Firefox doesn't accept cookies

Hi,
The web page mail.hitmessaging.net/ suddenly says that Firefox doesn't accept cookies so I followed all your instructions on this page
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites%20say%20cookies%20are%20blocked
and restarted the browser and then the computer but the problem remains. I clicked OK after having changed the settings in "Tools"-"Privacy" exactly as you recommend (I have double-checked) but when I open that menu again the changed settings haven't been saved. The setting is still "Remember history" instead of "Use customer settings for history" no matter how many times I try to change the setting. I'm using the Swedish version of Firefox 6 and I didn't have this problem with any home page before upgrading to Firefox 6.
Best regards,

You're welcome.
You can download the beta, but you should remember that it is still a beta version and that there are still bugs that need to be resolved. The beta versions are released as test versions to make it possible to get as many bugs fixed as possible before the final release.
Make sure that you create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile to avoid the beta version from corrupting the Firefox 3.6.x profile. 
The Firefox beta version install by default in their own program folder and do not replace the currently installed Firefox 3.6.x release.

Why Firefox doesn't show the captcha on the site swisscom mobile?

I can see the captcha image from most of the website, but not of swisscom mobile site. On other computer I don't have any trouble with this site. So I think it's a security problem. Ma computer should block something. But it doesn't work neither when I allowed the cookies and the popup. I'm not sure but I think I had ti add an exeption for this site, but I don't know how to see it any more. Do you have any idea how to make the captcha image visible again? Because I can't enter the site anymore. Thank you very much

I'm not seeing the captcha either. I see it in the page code, but the containing DIV has display:none , so it isn't displayed. If there is JavaScript that loads the captcha then it isn't working.
Do you have problems with logging in?

Why Firefox doesn't read keyboard input properly on Windows when chained deadkeys are involved?

I'm trying to customize my keyboard layout on Windows. I have finally installed my new layout. However some of key combinations doesn't work on some applications. One of them is Firefox. It seems it doesn't handle chained deadkeys. And for some reason RightAlt + Q which sould produce "\" produces some wierd combination – this parcitual wierd issue is specific to Firefox. I can send an installer of the keyboard.
Thank you for help

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Thank you for your question. At the moment 29.0.1 is a hotfix. I would encourage to update as it fixes many security issues and adds safety to your browsing. This will show you notifications when a hotfix goes out.

Why Firefox doesn't load flash?

I've had this problem in the past and I had to move to Opera for a while but got solved I don't know how. Today when I turned on my PC today the flash updater appeared like always and I updated it. Then I go to youtube and I can't see the video. It was fine yesterday. Then I realised no flash content was loading. It just shows an empty space where the flash thing should be. I tried uninstalling flash and firefox and installing a previous flash and nothing works. What can I do? Oh, I use firefox 4.

Well, yeah... right after I found the problem I tried uninstalling/installing again both firefox 4 and the flash player without any success. Then I returned to firefox 3,5 to write here then I noticed the flash was working again. That's the computer I use at my office. At home I still have a perfectly working firefox 4 because I didn't do the update that made it fail. Both computers run Windows XP but I don't remember if the one at the office has SP3... I know the one at home does have it. The one at my office tells me now to get firefox 4 but I don't want to because I won't be able to play flash.
Oh, one last thing... recently I can't put attachments on my hotmail e-mails and it only happens with firefox. On IE and Opera it works fine.

Why Firefox doesn't support alt symbols with long codes?

For example, I try to type symbol 'ґ' using Alt+1169. But instead of this I see char 'С' (cyryllic).
Also I noticed that (e.g.) Alt+1 = Alt+257, Alt+2 = Alt+258, etc, i.e. cyclically.
Opera has not such problem.
Thanks.

Did you try it?
If Num Lock is off then Alt + & is the same as Alt + Home and opens the home page. Other Alt keys also may have effect.

Why firefox doesn't include recently viewed pages drop down menu with back button?

This feature is quite common and useful instead of searching in history or going back one by one.

Why won't firefox 3.6.6 store cookies any more?

i cleared my cookies on 10/08/10 and since then firefox won't store cookies for longer than a browser session. i have checked my settings and nothing has changed. the box for accept cookies is checked, as is the box for accept third party cookies. cookies are accepted until they expire.
no changes have been made to add-ons or extensions. no changes have been made to my os. i disabled java quickstarter and console because firefox was hanging around in the background even after the browser was closed (and it was annoying and sucking up ram).
i can't figure out why firefox is hating on the cookies all of a sudden. any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're welcome

Cannot see Cookies with new update of firefox. 
I recently updated firefox, but when I look on the PRIVACY window, where 
websites store cookies, I am no longer able to see any cookies that 
are being stored, and I am not able to delete the cookies as soon as I leave 
their site, as I had been doing for a long time prior to updating. 
So I am wondering where the heck are the cookies being stored now, with the 
new update? I like to be able to delete their cookies immediately, and 
I also wonder why firefox does not make it much easier for us to see 
all the cookies and delete them with one click, instead of having to 
use the <<TOOLS<<OPTIONS<<PRIVACY way of looking at and deleting cookies. 
The option to delete the cookies when firefox closes is not as efficient 
and I will get tracked until I close firefox, and I prefer to not be tracked 
so I like to just delete their cookies as soon as I am no longer using their 
site anymore.

Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?

Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?
When going to firefox.com and clicking the download button, immediately I get directed to the dutch / Nederlands version of the site and I only get the choice to download Firefox Dutch/Nederlands.
I want the English version. Wouldn't it be better to ALSO have an option to select the language, wherever the software detects you're getting your internet connexion from?

As people posted, You can select whatever language you want instead at the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Systems & Languages] link below the download button. Or on https://www.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/fx/ it will be the [http://www.mozilla.com/nl/firefox/all.html Andere systemen en talen]

Why my mozilla doesn't have "Cookie editor" in "Tools"??

i want to edit my cookie but in Tools it doesn't show the Cookie editor..so, i looked up in the page info and i choose security to view cookies..it work but then i can't edit the cookie..it just have "remove cookie" and "remove all cookies" buttons only..help me~

Firefox has never had a cookie editor, there are add-ons that allow you to edit cookies such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4510/ Edit Cookies] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/92079/ Add & Edit Cookies+]

Firefox 10.0.2 doesn't delete cookies when Firefox is closed when selecting: Keep until: I close Firefox:

From the Menu bar select + tools + options + privacy + use custom settings for history + Keep until: I close Firefox:
Firefox 10.0.2 doesn't delete cookies when Firefox is closed when selecting: Keep until: I close Firefox: Please advise Thanks :)

If you change that cookie setting at a later time then only new cookies are affected and you need to remove already existing cookies yourself.
There are also extensions that add opt-out cookies that can't be removed as long as the extension is installed (enabled).
