Sync sign up is telling me cookies are disabled
I'm trying to get Sync to work and can't get past the "Welcome to Sync" page. It says my cookies are disabled even though I've cleared them all and they are enabled. How do I fix this?

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
You can also check if DOM Storage is enabled.

What are the cookie settings?
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
