hi dwun, any changes you make should be reflected instantly - how do you want to configure the settings in the privacy panel exactly?

Are you able to change other settings, or is the whole preferences page not working correctly?

For cookies, what setting are you starting from and what setting do you want to change to? For example:

  • Accept cookies from sites: change from checked to unchecked?
  • Accept third-party cookies: change from X to Y?
  • Keep until: change from X to Y?

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings. Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made. If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History". "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
