After I click tool, and options to go to privacy,I realized that I can't custmise cookies as it said on the "enabling and disabling cookies". On my site, when I check "accept cookies from site" in the check box,"Keep until" mark doesn't activate. Also,"clear histories when firefox closes" check box is not activated either. (it means the color of that part is like faded, so I cannot control from my site.) I wonder why I can't activate this part although your example said we supposed to be able to use these parts according to "Enabling and disabling cookies" instruction. Thank you. edit

  • Make sure that you not run Firefox in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode
  • In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
  • You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
  • You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
  • To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
