Since the most recent Firefox for Windows update, all of my Firefox browsers on my PCs have suddenly stopped saving my already logged in cookies for my major use websites, such as Facebook, Outlook, Amazon, and Netflix. For the past few years, these websites all stay logged in, even when I have Firefox set to delete cookies when the browser is closed, in part because I have these websites all carefully noted in the cookies and site data exceptions. As I said, I've never had problems for the past few years. But since the most recent update a few weeks ago, all of my websites log me out after 24 hrs. I even changed the main cookies settings to not delete any cookies when the browser is closed, but that makes no difference. Something has changed in the most recent Firefox that has disabled the managed exceptions to cookie deletion. I'd love some help on how to fix this, as changing settings does not seem to do it.
Firefox 82+ comes with a "Redirect Tracking Protection" feature to automatically purge tracking cookies for websites that haven't been visited recently, so if you clear the history then Firefox can clear cookies.
Agreed, these are all ways user data is not recorded. But none of them apply here. I've scanned for malware. And all of the websites in question hold cookies for 24 hrs, even after I have closed the browsers or even shut down the computer. Then, suddenly, about 24 hrs from the last login, the user info for all my saved websites disappears. I've made no major software changes to my computer, and it happened immediately after the last major Firefox browser update.
Sorry for the long delay, but I was busy testing out Cor-el's suggestion. Turns out the issue is in fact the new Firefox "Enhanced Tracking Protection." This is still an error with Firefox and should be fixed. For any websites with cookies that I place in managed exceptions to not have their cookies deleted, if Enhanced Tracking Protection is on for that website, the login cookies will still be deleted after 24hrs. I turned of ETP for Outlook, Amazon, etc., and so far the websites seem to be staying logged in. It's just frustrating to have to turn the service off completely since it does offer nice anti-tracking features. I just wish Firefox would integrate it with the managed exceptions in my privacy settings, which it currently does not do. Still, since turning of the ETP for a particular website seems to solve my problem, I am marking this as solved.
This would (will) only happen if you have set Firefox via "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the browsing history because this feature relies on recent history, so can either exclude the history from getting removed or set the above mentioned pref to false on the about:config page.
Cor-el, I can confirm that the login cookies delete even when I uncheck "Clear history when firefox closes." The new ETP deletes the cookies regardless of my Privacy settings. This is true for me on two different laptops that have Firefox installed. Checking or unchecking the "Clear history when firefox closes" made no difference to my problem, but turning off ETP for individual pages solved my problem.
You may have come across cookies while browning on the internet. When you enter a website, it may ask you to accept cookies. But have you ever wondered what these cookies might be? And why do you have to accept them to continue browsing?

Now that we have understood what Netflix Cookies on Android are, the next question is should you delete these cookies after using the website? Cookies of all kinds collect some of your personal information and user activity; many websites even go as far as collecting your email, username, and passwords. Therefore, when you agree to accept cookies on a site, be sure what information you are volunteering to share with the said website. However, Netflix and other major streaming services use persistent cookies; these cookies do not store your username or password information but rather help you stay login into the website. Hence, the decision to disable cookies from Netflix is totally on your satisfaction with the streaming service.
Ans. Cookies are small files of information stored by browsers; they help websites personalize user experience. For example, Netflix uses cookies to help its users have a more effortless experience on their app and website. Cookies are important for companies to give you a personal, convenient, and flexible website experience.
Ans. Any website that accepts Cookies also asks you permission to read your online activity. Some websites may save your username and password. Netflix cookies are persistent cookies; these cookies do not have your password or username information. They personalize your user experience. You can disable the Third Party Performance cookies from the settings.
Ans. You can refuse to accept Cookies on any site. If you visit a service-providing website like Amazon or Netflix, you will lose a personalized experience with the website.
We hope this guide was helpful, and that you were able to understand the use and importance of Netflix cookies on Android. Comment down and let us know how do you manage cookies. Also, if you have questions, queries, or suggestions, feel free to share them with us.
Removed and reinstall Silverlight; remove and reinstall Firefox, disable all add-ons, none of these has helped. Netflix loads, select a movie, screen goes black and the blue dot circle goes round and then, nothing. Also the timeline doesn't show nor any of the controls.
I myself had trouble with Netflix today. What fixed the issue for me was deleting all Netflix cookies, see -US/kb/delete-cookies-remove-info-websites-stored#w_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site and then forcing a refresh of Netflix a couple times +.
Hi Alex, There are no error messages, just the black screen. Contacted Netflix yesterday. 2 techs worked on it but couldn't figure it out. They recommended I goto the forum and hope for help. You are the only one who has tried and I wish I could tell you the problem was solved. Have even tried to load an earlier Firefox, but it always ends up being #42, Maybe I'll try again withou the internet on.
Nightly used to work; then it was upgraded on 11/28 and hasn't worked since. Now it tells me it is updaying video and sound and to try again later. Later never happens. Same thing as on Firefox. I hate to change to Edge, but it works and I haven't found a way to tell Mozilla of this problem. Thanks again Alex
Finally I reset win10. Lost all my stuff and am reinstalling. Now everything works fine. Somehow I must have done something to Win10. So glad that is all over. Thank you so very much for bearing with me all these weeks. ]Gracias! Sorry about the leading exclamation mark.
Adding to a list is not really useful because netflix app wont hide items we have already watched, so we lose a lot of time browsing a long list of things we have already watched, almost pointless, I dont do it anymore...
Easier and reliable: Just share the movie link with some app that you can delete later, eg.: share it with whatsapp (better if you have a 2nd cellphone to do that), but then you have to use an external app.
Tho, the best app I found for this is "Keep notes": create a label on it "Watch Later". On netflix app, share the link to keep notes with that label. On keep notes, search notes with that label.
UNRELIABLE (I kept this here so you can try, but as soon the netflix app restarts for any reason, the "pseudo watch later list" will be lost, unless they "fix" it...)
more complex, inside netflix app (only works with videos that can be downloaded):
1 - opt to download videos
2 - opt storage as the external sdcard
3 - fill up sdcard with trash (like a copy of 100MB files, i suggest using x-plore to make copies) in a temporary place that is easy to delete later (the trick step)
4 - try to download a video, it will fail, the item will remain on the download list as being unable to download it, won't use storage space, it is pseudo-perfect :), the item will remain there (let's hope they dont change this...)
5 - before watching or downloading, just delete some of the trash if needed
Obs.: starting a download and pausing it only allow us to "continue all downloads" after, what is messy.
