Have used Firefox for years. There should be a healthy list of blocked sites (exceptions to cookies). Privacy: always use private browsing mode - ticked Accept cookies from sites - ticked Accept third party cookies - always Exceptions - shows as blank (no sites listed) Cookies (only Google, coz I'm using it - I always clear out after session).

Reason for question: wanted to check that I hadn't got a site blocked, as this site repeatedly times out - I can't respond quickly enough to the ALLOW button when I get the "Firefox prevented ...." message.

Help!

Current Firefox versions do not show the Cookies in the Cookie Manager when you are in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
In Private Browsing mode all cookies are session cookies that expire at the end of the session (all PB mode windows closed) or when you exit Firefox.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":

  • do not clear the Site Preferences

Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
