After using sites fine I get errors from the sites which state that I need to enable cookies.I enabled cookies from 3rd party sites always, but it still occurs.
When entering my password at various websites (i.e., TaxAct, YouTube, Google Maps, etc.), I keep getting errors. I read to change the settings to: Options, Privacy, Accept third party cookies from sites: Always, Until they expire. I have done this, but the error persists.
I then went in and entered the exception to allow 3rd party tracking for these sites, but that did not work.
I then read to go in and delete all cookies, history, etc. which does work, however, I am left with the huge annoyance of losing all my history, passwords, etc.
I don't necessarily want sites "tracking me, however, I don't want to keep losing the history, password, etc. I did not have this issue with Internet Explorer, only since switching to Firefox.
I appreciate your help. Thank you.

There is usually no need to enable (all) third-party cookies, if you need them then it is usually sufficient to allow third-party cookies from visited website.
What kind of error message do you get?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode 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).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
