I'm have Private Browsing set to delete all cookies and data after closing a session but I would like to allow certain website to keep certain cookies and keep my session open.

I haven't been able to find a way to do so, does anybody know if it's possible and how? And if it isn't how could it be requested for an upgrade?

Thank you.

Hi Joan, in private browsing, cookies are kept only in memory and not written to disk. None of them can carry over to your next session. You would need to stop using private browsing for that site, or consider whether an add-on might offer this feature.
