I block various sites in "options, privacy, exceptions" but they still over ride the block. How do I stop this?

No matter how many times I block various site in "options, privacy. exceptions" -- such as "ajax.cloudflare.com", "apis.google.com", "www.google.com", "www.youtube.com" etc they still give themselves permission to enable cookies. How do I stop this?

Have you tried some extensions/addons ? such like Block Site .

A support thread on Parental Control is here http://mzl.la/1xKrBZD , you can get some more from here.

Hi Chandan,

I have tried that over the last 3 weeks but it makes no difference. I can go on to "about:permissions", block all the various websites and as soon as I go onto any website where Microsoft / Google/youtube etc have any connection they just unblock themselves again. I am sometimes blocking them 3/4 times a night.

I don't want to believe the Firefox has some arrangement with these companies to allow them to do this but I can't see how otherwise these companies can just override what is supposed to be a secure browser.

If you / anyone can suggest something to stop these people from just hijacking my security I would be grateful

regards

Did you try to block the top level domain (google.com)?

Hi Cor-el, I have blocked as standard the top level domains of pernicious sites:- ie - www.youtube.com - www.google.com - www.paypal.com - www.blogger.com - cloudflare.com.

It makes no difference. As soon as I go on any blog site, Amazon or one that has photos or film clips that can be downloaded (even though I don't download them) privacy block gets overridden.

I just had a thought though. Amazon is the only one of those sites that I "allow first party only" access to (I can't open my account unless I do that) so I wonder if allowing just one site some access that lets the others in through a back door??

I traced where these cookies are being stored on my PC and they always go into "AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone from Firefox technical support monitor this forum?

regards
