<![CDATA[Browsers]]>Well, I have 4.
And a half.
O'k, and a quarter.
Not counting installations, right?

So, we have a thread about systems (not counting the Solar System and the nervous one), now why not a topic about browsers.
Well, we all presumably use Opera. Or ChrOpera.
But I doubt if there's anybody here not using/having one/a couple/a few more on machine, let alone smartphones, iPhones, jPhones and "dumb"phones, right?:)

I wonder if Opera sorta demised because opera became not a very popular genre these days;)
I'm guessing if the true Opera shall become replaced by, at least, some "Musical" browser?:)
See, yonder days people attended operas, then later the genre got "outnumbered" by that more democratic thing: people sang more cheerfully, made kicks, that way:)
What d'you think?

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.

Under "Firefox will:" there are three choices:

  • this "Remember history" I already mentioned,
  • "Neva rememba history"
  • and "Use custom settings for history".

Was it merry?
Did you marry Mary?

OK, in my FF setup, I've selected "Use custom settings for history". I'm not sure what the 'default' setting would be, since on my setup, none of the choices carry that particular label. The other choices for that selector are Never Remember and Always Remember History.

When using that custom settings option, the following checkbox options appear beneath:

  • Always use private browsing mode
  • Remember my browsing and download history
  • Remember search and form history
  • Accept cookies from sites (followed by a choice box for Exceptions)
    • Accept third-party cookies: (followed by a choice box for Always, From Visited, Never)
    • Keep until: (followed by a choice box for They expire, I close Firefox; and another choice box for Show Cookies)
  • Clear history when Firefox closes (followed by a choice box for Settings)

It may be that the custom settings option reveals the cookie options beneath. It's been a long time since I set this up, and Firefox just keeps inheriting the settings as versions have been updated. I don't want to take the chance of changing the custom settings option in order to find out, just in case that might dump the subsequent cookie choices I've made (especially my lengthy exceptions list).

PS: Mary was already married to a guy named Joseph.

The Privacy page should contain subsections for Tracking,

Under History are settings for how to handle history and whether to use private browsing mode.

History
Firefox will --- then there is a dropbox, "Remember history" picked (default).
Firefox will remember your browsing, download, form and search history, and keep cookies from websites you visit. (words)

You may want to clear your recent history, or remove individual cookies. (Don't click those ^links^ - just wanted to show they are ones.)

That's what I have in that section.

If you start out from the Menu bar, how far down the (Menu) Tools > Options > Privacy trail can you navigate?

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

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.

Such as they are, cookie controls in Firefox 50 are at: Tools - Options - Privacy, where you will find some settings at 'Accept cookies from sites', particularly the settings for Exceptions and Keep Until.

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)?

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 history etc., 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.

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.

Yes, the right place to ask about it as this topic is clearly not about sync issues in Opera. So please read the forum rules and then open a new topic, in the right place, to discuss your problem.

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...

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.
