I am tetsing Lastpass on Firefox 61.01 on Mac, however they've changed the plug to only stay logged in across sessions if a cookie is set..

The trouble i'm having is deciding weather Private browsing is more important, or keeping history during the same session..

As i prefer to surf the web in private browsing, i also need Lastpass to remember my password across browsing sessions as well. I don't blame Firefox for this, as i think Lastpass were the ones who decided to set a cookie just to keep password. A that's how it always worked before FF 57+ came out

So, my question, I'm trying to find the equivalent combination of Private browsing but as a "Us custom Settings"for this issue. Would the following be correct ? (Attached)

This way i get the best of both worlds. I've also set "Tracking protection to : Always:" so really, i think the only thing that would be saved is my history, but only for the session

Is that correct? as the equivalent of Private browsing ? if there was a way i can not save history at all (equivalent of private browsing) but also allow exceptions, that would be better.

I tried that as well, but it seemed FF lost cookies after session is closed. The only alternative would be to use an older FF browser and LP plugin,,, but am undecided regarding keeping history on FF 61.01 during session weather

Solution choisie

In Private Browsing mode local storage is disabled, so an extension (LastPass) can't store data that extends beyond a session. Also cookies are session cookies that expire when you end the PB mode session.

If you click the "Settings" button to the right of "Clear history when Firefox closes", what are you clearing there? Are you sparing the cookies?

Nope.. I've got everything checked.

ok,, so its either "Custom" or "PB" and entering password into Lastpass each time.

That's a change from before.... Not sure how Firefox managed to save password without cookie on local storage if FF had always been that way, (the version of FF i was using before was 56.0.2) and in PB it worked that way..

so in FF 61.0.1, i was trying to find the equivalent of that.

I think I got it:-

- User Custom Settings - Uncheck: 

* Private Browsing
* Remember my browsing and download history
* Remember search and form history

Check 

* Clear history when Firefox closes (probably not needed since nothing to really clear)
  • Accept cookies and site data from websites: Keep Until : Firefox closed
  • Tracking Protection: Always.
