I think it was after 43 the option to pick and choose left.

I'm still running 42. I was having trouble with newer versions not working with some of my add-ons so I reverted back.

It appears FF screwed the pooch, as far as security goes. Unless and until they fix these issues, I'll stick with Pale Moon. It seems to be working as I want. There are a myriad of Linux browsers that work pretty well, but they're all lacking in one department or another.

Brian, I have 46. Loot at : Tools - Options - Privacy - History - then select: Use Custom Setting for History It allows to to save cookies, or delete them upon exiting FF or not accepting them at all.

At least it shows up on my V46.0.1

I guess that's what you want but I may be mistaken.

That's not what I want. The screenshot I posted is the result of the third option to "Ask every time". Once the cookies are downloaded, whatever rides in on them is there, already. If you deny them up front, which that option isn't available in the later versions, they can't do what they're intended to do.

So click on "Do not accept cookies from sites" then

Czubek · 05-26-2016, 08:23 AM

Some you need for functionality, like online shopping sites. But even then, once you get the ones you need, you can delete the tracking and advertising ones. Ebay, for example. I only accept a couple from them and the rest I deny. Amazon, the same. They don't need to know what else I do, especially in other sites. I take the few extra seconds to go through that process and I have zero problems from viruses, like key-loggers, adware, or whatever. The later versions of FF, I started seeing them show up.

That's why I run CCleaner just about every day

Czubek · 05-26-2016, 09:19 AM

CCleaner is good software, but it only cleans once whatever is already in the computer. I like to head off what I can, before it gets into my computer.

Bleachbit is to Linux what CCleaner is to Winders.
