"never remember history" is storing a cookie even after firefox closed
i was testing "never remember history", i noticed it says that all history including cookies are removed once firefox is closed.
so i went on youtube, got the tracking google cookie then closed firefox, once i reopened firefox i checked my stored cookies and the google cookie was still there?

hi jenni-anders, you'd have to delete cookies, that were present before you've changed to "never remember history" manually.
in addition, when you are using the malware/phishing protection feature in firefox, this will download a list of known bad domains from google's safebrowsing service which will create one cookie, even if you've set "never remember history". however this particular cookie is sandboxed and separated from all other cookies, so i cannot be used by google to track you during webbrowsing. for details see bug 897516...

hiya,
i disabled the malware etc feature and the cookie is gone, and doesnt seem to be reappearing, so i guess it was that sandboxed one.
sneaky google tracking cookies are everywhere :)

This special Google cookie has appId="-2" SQLite Manager: cookies.sqlite => moz_cookies:
SELECT id,baseDomain,appId,name,value,host,path FROM moz_cookies WHERE host=".google.com"
