Hi, I agree that can be confusing! about:preferences is simply the URL of the Options tab/page, so all you have to do to save your settings is to close the tab.
More about cookies etc - Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
I close the tab. Reopen and see that changes haven't been saved.
OK, please see - How to fix preferences that won't save.
I've carried out reset and still can't save settings. I don't understand the rest of the article.
I am trying to create a sync account. The login doesn't accept my password so I'm trying to get a new password. I'm told Cookies and Local storage are required and I should enable these in my browser.
I can't enable cookies (won't save) and don't know what local storage is or how to enable it.
I just got another email and was able to reset my password and start Firefox Sync. Don't know how ... but thanks anyway!
