How do I stay signed in for a single/few sites while still nuking the rest of the history?

more options

So, I just switched from Chrome to FF, and have gotten most of my preferences and add-ons over.

The only thing I am trying to figure out is how to keep logins for certain sites while still removing history on exit.

The three sites I want to preserve are Reddit, Google, and Youtube. I have them set as Allow in cookie exceptions, but that doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated!

hi, set the preference for cookies to keep them "until i close firefox" & create eceptions for the sites you want to stay logged-in across sessions (don't celar cookies as part of your history on shutdown because this will through out everything - even the ones you're aiming to keep around).

I did everything already, and it still didn't work.

are you using any privacy addons or third-party tools (read "ccleaner"), that might interfere with the cookie management in firefox?
