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?

Chosen solution

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":

  • do not clear the Site Preferences

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.
