I received the error message "Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on." I am not sure how it got turned off, so cannot turn it on.
My Firefox has been freezing up on my MacBook for a couple of days and today I got this message when I tried to open an email account:
Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on.
Since I did not turn it off, I am at a loss as to how to turn it on.
Thank you Peggy Nesheim

Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
- Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

It means that the server needs cookies to be enabled for that site. Set an exception to allow cookies for that hostname. Go into Preferences > Privacy, under History select "Use custom settings for history" and then click "Exceptions". Type the hostname into the textbox and click "Allow". That should allow cookies for that site.
