Why are my Content > Load images -- > Exceptions settings not saved?
I designate certain sites as exceptions under Content > Load images automatically. The next time I open Firefox, those exceptions are not there. This also happens under Privacy > Accept cookies from sites. The exceptions that I put in disappear the next time I open Firefox. How can I make these exceptions permanent?

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page or for the current domain via the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location bar and click "More Information" to open "Page Info" and go to the Permissions tab.
You can delete the permissions.sqlite file to reset all permissions.
