I know that Firefox asks for permissions for each website that I visit (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-android-use-permissions-it-requests) However I often visit the same few websites and I have to tell Firefox to grant permissions each time. Is there a way to tell Firefox to "remember" that I granted a permission and to always grant it again w/out asking me?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Nope it is not a notice about cookie and tracking preferences. I was initially using Firefox Android. When I switched to the new Firefox Preview Android app I saw a way to save permission preferences per-site.

Hi

Do you have Firefox for Android set to clear the browsing history when you exit? If so, that will also clear the permissions that you have set.

I do not have it set to clear browser history. In fact I can reproduce this problem w/out leaving the tab. If I navigate to the page in question navigating away, then navigate back it re-asks for permissions.

Just a thought...is this a notice about cookie and tracking preferences?
