It used to be I could tell Firefox to erase all cookies each time I leave the programme (i.e. close all tabs). Now I cannot find any more where I can opt for this (necessary) feature. How do I tell Firefox to erase all cookies when I close it? If that is no longer possible, who can I write to at Mozilla to complain (and please, you should complain as well)?

Hi, if you go into Options, you should then be able to search for "Accept cookies", under there, there is an option to "Keep Until", change that to "Firefox is closed".

(Note, the image I've included says "Nightly is closed", but that's just due to the version of Firefox I took this from).
