Browsers

Modern browsers allow web apps to store data on your computer, sometimes so you can have it while offline later but also sometimes just because they want to store more data than would fit into cookies. Obviously the default setting in most browsers is not to ask, unless you've set the browser to ask about cookies. I can't tell you about that site specifically though.

So you mean... I think it's good.
It's like local storage, isn't it?
Well, it's good it asks. Because if I'm not gonna use that site in a foreseeable future, then - why store crap, right? -

Speedtest.net is a bit screwed in Midori.
Though the speed is o'k (if it depends):

Java no longer works in any Chromium-based browsers.
@davehawleyDave, what about other WebKit? And what about SlimJet?

I see an HTML5 speed test over on Slashdot.org; perhaps try that.

This?
Well, that "cursor mishap" might have something to do with such objects' rendering on zoom in Midori.
That browser crashes considerably. Not too scary so far though, however a seemingly "runtime error" occured once I noticed, perhaps...(Results: 244, 14, 11, 0.5%.
What does it measure, again? ("Gaming" "not recommended"?

Is it only I who have problems with Vivaldi's implementation of tab stacking? I don't like it all, it makes tab management worse. I want it as Opera 12 had it.

Since I updated my highest Firefox to 50 some short time ago, I started losing my - login cookies? - each new session, whichever version I use. May be a coincidence - about upgrading to 50 that is.
The point is -- where the heck is this cookie management in MF at all? couldn't find any, only to save logins for sites...

Increasingly, full and detailed cookie control is becoming hard to find in browsers. In Firefox 50, I block cookies and preserve my log-ins by blocking all 3rd party cookies, keeping cookies until I close Firefox, and setting cookie exceptions for the various sites for which I want to preserve log-ins. It's about the best I can do without hunting down a cookie manager that will remain compatible with the fast-changing browser designs, protocols and practices.

Searched there too, didn't find anything. I will try with your specifics.
I did find some check-lists on "View page info" since that posting. Presumably, it hadn't changed a bit and all should be set to "Allow" though.
I recall it or similar something had happened once before, with Firefox. I lost some logins, or maybe not, not sure exactly. It happened that I lost my "start with" though that I remember: hadn't changed any settings, but --- had to dig some out from
historyetc., then armed it with an additional tool, a session manager extension.
So it seems Firefox can slip sometimes. Not very often, still I don't know why.
Good thing I remember or in cases store (some of) my passwords. Could be worse if I forgot some logins, though it could be helped when one remembers or can guess the email one registered with. -

No, I didn't find any such thing.
The logging issue has seemed to have resolved itself though.
May it be something quirky with my installation(s)? -

Hmm. The settings I've described have been in Firefox for quite some time, though they were thinned down a bit a number of versions ago. If you start out from the Menu bar, how far down the (Menu) Tools > Options > Privacy trail can you navigate? The cookie settings are clustered beneath the History subsection of that Privacy page. If you're not able to follow that settings trail, there indeed sounds as if something is wrong with your Firefox installation.

"Privacy" there is, but there's no "manage cookies" or similar there. I've made a screenshot.

Your screenshot doesn't appear.
The Privacy page should contain subsections for Tracking, History, and Location Bar. Under History are settings for how to handle history and whether to use private browsing mode. Even if private browsing is deselected, 2 options remain operational beneath it for setting cookie choices: whether to accept third-party cookies, and how long to keep cookies.
And a very Merry Christmas as well!
