Dear Community,

i had .cfg file with following settings to clean up some userdata after closing firefox:

//Clean UP Cache etc. lockPref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", false); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps", true); lockPref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions", false);

This cleaned the "Storage" Folder in the Firefox Profile folder, but cookies and sessions where remaining, so the logins where active.

Now i saw that all useres have lots of folders in the "Storage/Default" folder. After some research i found out that this behavior startet at 02.10.2024.

I also found a new pref: privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage which was set to "false". No idea where this key came from? When I set this key to "Yes", the storage is cleared after closing Firefox. But so also all the cookies. Was there a change at the prefs?

And is ther any other solution to clear the Storage but remain the cookies?

Thank you in advance!

We added new preferences when we changed the functionality of that dialog.

This was done in Firefox 128:

The Clear browsing data and cookies dialog was redesigned, which also affected the "Clear history when Firefox closes" dialog. The result is that some of the options in the SanitizeOnShutdown policy have been combined.

https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#sanitizeonshutdown-selective has the new prefs.

Корисно?
