Why do I have to clear cookies every 3 days because YOUR Firefox is screwed? Do I need to go back to Explorer again?

I'll try to open a news page and get an error message Sorry, Bad Request. Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

According to your forum, I need to clear cookies. It works, but I then have to reload passwords and settings, and repeat the whole thing 3 days later? if Firefox isn't going to fix the problem, just tell me and I'll stop using it completely.

You may have security or cleanup software that messes with files in the Firefox Profile Folder is the cookies get corrupted.
