Why has the option to delete cookies on quit been eliminated from preferences in Firefox 12

The "Privacy" preferences panel no longer offers the option to delete cookies on quit, as it did in Ffx 6, the version I updated from. Has this option been moved elsewhere? Has it been eliminated? If it has been eliminated, what is the last version that offers it? Could you please give me a '''specific, working''' URL where I can download the latest version that allows setting a "delete on quit" policy for cookies.
If Firefox puts the user first, why are your "updates" dumming down on user-settable options, especially one as important as an easy and convenient way to prevent cookies from hanging around till the next ice age. I realize I can manually delete cookies, but this is a pain in the rear, especially since I am missing most of my fingers. All those extra strokes that the ten fingered world dismisses as trivial really add up when you have only 2.5 fingers and one eye.

Your image shows "Firefox will Remember History".
It has a dropdown arrow which usually shows -
"Firefox will Never Remember History" and, what you need,
"Firefox will Use Custom Settings". This opens a range of options.
Is this pair of dropdown arrows not working?

  • Why is the option to reject cookies non-existent on 3.6.8

    Why is the option to reject cookies non-existent on 3.6.8? On all previous versions I could reject the bad cookies and now you take a great feature away, WHY?

    On Tools > Options > Privacy, is "Firefox will:" set to "Use custom setting for history" so that you can see all of the options available? See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Privacy+panel#Use_custom_settings_for_history

  • Macmail no longer has the option to delete messages off the server

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my macmail (6.2) no longer has the option to delete messages off the server in preferences / advanced settings.
    I recently had troubles with the mailbox quota being full (ie everything stored on the server) and don't want to go in and manually delete things.
    The research I've done suggests it should be as easy as checking or unchecking a box, however it's not there where it should be .
    Help please!

    Hi therese,
    Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox Behaviors. Set the Trash section to move deleted messages to the Trash Mailbox, and then to Store the deleted messages on the Server. Select how often you want deleted messages to be permanently removed from the server.
    Also, if you have stuff in the Trash, and you select some or all of it, and then go to Edit>Delete, it will ask you at that time if you want to delete it from the Server or just the Mac.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,
    GB

  • I can not open the privacy icon in the options to delete cookies, why?

    I am trying to individually delete cookies, When I go to "tools" then "options" the window will open and I click on the "privacy" icon, the program will highlight the "privacy" icon, but the options for privacy will not appear. The rest of the icons will open and function properly, Has my computer been hijacked?

    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

  • My context menu no longer has the options to delete, remove etc.

    My context menu no longer has some of the options it used to have. I have disabled a number of add-ons to solve the problem, but it didn't work. I don't find options like opening the link in a different window or tab useful. Could you please tell me how I can change my context menu that has options of deleting, renaming, removing, editing a tab or a folder in my email account (Yahoo)?
    Thank you.
    Shafiq Islam

    Web pages can replace the context menu to their own version and suppress the regular context menu.
    You can set the <b>dom.event.contextmenu.enabled</b> pref to false on the <b>about:config</b> page to prevent web pages from modifying the right-click context menu.

  • Has the command-P keyboard shortcut to print been removed from Pages 5.2?

    Is this just me or has one of the most used keyboard shortcuts been removed from the latest Pages?
    You have to navigate the mouse to File>print...?  No command>P?

    Thanks.  I went to Keyboard in System Preferences and added command+P as print command.  No idea why it disappeared from Pages - but not Safari.
    Back in action.

  • Why has the filter gallery in PS CC quit working?

    The filter gallery in my Photoshop CC has, out of the blue, quit working. The filters all appear and if I apply one the blue progress bar appears in a normal fashion, but nothing is applied in the preview or in the file if I hit OK. In looking through help files I found that Wacom tablets can cause issues and a special plug-in is the recommended fix. I use an Intous 3 tablet so I installed the plug-in but that didn't change anything. Now I'm stumped. Anyone know why this is occurring?
    Charlie

    See if maybe the filters are disabled in the filter gallery.
    There should be an Eye next to the filters that are active.

  • Why has the ability to attach photos in stationery been stopped

    Today I tried to send a thank you message using Mail stationery with an attached photo and got the message that this can no longer be done and either remove the photo or the stationery. Is Apple trying to destroy what was a great system?

    Maybe the network your on out there has issues.

  • Why has the camera roll and/or stream roll been merged together?

    Wwe hat happened to my stream roll? This IOS8 system is not as user friendly as IOS7 was.

    Update your iPhone to iOS 8.1 and you'll get the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream back.
    If you have already updated to 8.1 go into Settings and turn off "iCloud Photo Library Beta" which will bring back the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream.

  • Why wont itunes give me the option to delete a song from my computer as well as the itunes library??

    I want to clean up my music library, but when I try to delete a song from iTunes it doesn't give me the option to delete the file for the song from my laptop. Is there a reason why??

    If you are deleteing from a playlist, it won't ask to delete from the hard drive (unless you hold Shift and press Delete).
    If you are deleting from the library and it is not asking you, go to iTunes prefs > Advanced and tick Reset all dialog warnings.

  • I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.
