After I upgraded to Firefox 36.0.4, th option for clearing cookies is not working!

DESCRIPTION: Tools/Options/Privacy/Settings/"When I quit firefox it should automatically clear: Cookies"

I tick the checkbox. Restart FF. Checkbox is now NOT ticked, and cookies are NOT cleared.

When I don't restart and go to the settings, the checkbox remains ticked, but only until restart.

This is a SERIOUS security bug, in my opinion.

As posted above:

The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).

You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself as there is not need to initialize prefs this way.

Update: YES, I do use session restore, and I want to continue using it. Everything worked fine in the previous version of FF (Not sure which one, I don't update to new versions as soon as they get out, but every 4-5 months).

How do I stop session restore to keep cookies?

I still say that this is a BUG because FF allows me to change a setting that re-sets itself after restart.

hello hogar, could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...

OK; I think I solved it, but I still maintain that this IS a BUG.

I first went to FF Session Manager settings. Unchecked the option "Save session cookies". THAT DID NOT HELP.

THEN I dig FURTHER in FF Session Manager settings and found under "SessionStore" settings an option called "Save sensitive data (Form Data, POSTDATA and coockies". Changed it from "all sites" to "no sites at all".

Now it seems that cookies are being cleared, BUT the first option that I mentioned is STILL not working (checking the "clear cookies" in Tools/Options/Privacy/Settings/"When I quit firefox it should automatically clear: Cookies" ) - I check it, restart, it remains unchecked. BUG.

I will post the troubleshooting data in my next post.

And the previous version of my FF was 32.0.3, when I didn't have this issue. Sorry for my multiple posts.

ok thanks - you appear to have a user.js file present your profile which can be used to overwrite your custom preferences - if you haven't created it yourself in the first place, please remove it: click the menu button ≡ and then click help ? > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named user.js. in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

for more information and other steps please also see: How to fix preferences that won't save

Aha! Humm. No, I haven't created it as in "create user.js". But can it be that some of my add-ons that I do use created it - I mean, what if I need it for something else?

Can I remove it, see if everything works as desired, and then if I don't "like it" can I put it back there and expect everything to revert to previous settings?

THANK YOU!
