My browser won't accept persistent cookies to create a banking log in ID?
Hello, I'm trying to log in to my banking website with a new bank card, but it won't accept it because it says,
Your card number cannot be saved to your computer because your browser has disabled persistent cookies. Please select Help to find out how to enable persistent cookies on your browser. {Result #U118}
I've read all the FF help info and nothing helps. I had the new card set up a while back, but it reverted back to the old card and won't let me add the new one...HELP! thanks :)

You can check if DOM Storage is enabled.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
- Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
- Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
- Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
Firefox 34 and later have a storage inspector that allows to see a website stores in local storage. It is part of the developer tools and can be enabled via the Toolbox Options (gear) icon in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Thank you very much for your replies. FredMcD I did what you said and it has now allowed me to create the new ID. I hope it sticks since I think I did all that once before and it worked for a while, then reverted back to its ornary ways...lol. I checked what add ons I have and besides plug ins for things I use, I don't have that many. I try to disable things I don't use. I couldn't find how to disable them all, so I'll see how this goes for now. Thanks again. I did check out what the moderator said, but it's a bit beyond my understanding of the inner workings of browsers...lol. God Bless, A
Glad to help, Safe Surfing.
