I choose preferences/privacy/accept cookies from websites. Then I introduce the websites which I allow to accept cookies, allow them and save the changes. Now I see in a next session of Mozilla Firefox, after having switched off my iMAC, that he websites are no longer present in the list of accepted sites. What do I have to do to keep the websites in the list of allowed sites permanently?

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.

  • do not clear the Cookies
  • do not clear the Site Preferences
  • clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
  • clearing "Cookies" will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an "Allow" exception you may want to keep
