How to enable saving of all cookies in Firefox?
In "Privacy & Security" settings I enabled in "History" section to remember all history. But when I load, for example, https://conan.io site I see a notification about cookies with button to allow them, everytime I load site I see this message, and I forced to click and click "Accept All Cookies" button.
How can I enable to store all cookies in Firefox to avoid this annoyable message?
Thank you.

Hi Igor, usually this is a notice from the site rather than a notice from Firefox. After you accept cookies on their panel, the site can set a cookie so it knows you already answered the question.
That particular site seems to be completely broken -- they can't even keep track of your choice from one page load to the next.
If that is the only site that loses your preferences frequently, I think your settings are correct. You can let the site know that their code doesn't work correctly in Firefox.
If you see the problem on other sites:
How soon do you see the message a second time? For example, after closing a site's tab/the next time you open a tab to the site, or only after you exit out of Firefox and revisit the site in a new session, etc.

Hi jscher2000,
conan.io always asks for cookies accept (new tab, closing Firefox). You guess that this is a problem of conan.io, OK, maybe, in this case I don't have more questions. I saw earlier the same problem on some other sites, but I don't remember what they are...
Thank you for your quick reply.
You can try to create a cookie allow exception for those websites. Make sure not to clear the "Site settings" as this includes exceptions.
You can use these steps to make a website recognize and remember you.
- create a cookie allow exception with the proper protocol (https:// or http://) to make a website remember you
You can check that you aren't clearing important cookies.
- using "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" to clear cookies keeps cookies with an allow exception
in 102+ version toggling this setting makes changes to the "Clear history when Firefox closes" settings and those settings prevail - using "Clear history when Firefox closes" in Firefox 102+ honors exceptions and keeps cookies with an allow exception, previous versions removed all cookies
Make sure to keep the "Site settings".
- clearing "Site settings" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Exceptions" - Settings -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
[X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings
