I tried this setting under Tools, Pricacy, use custom settings for history and clicked the accept cookies. But, when I go back in, the setting is not saved.
Thanks for your reply.
First we need to determine if you can save any preferences/settings. Change a trivial setting (e.g. select the Always ask me where to save files setting under the General panel - see Startup, home page, tabs, and download settings). Close and re-open the General panel, is the setting saved?
Then have a look at the support article How to fix preferences that won't save.
Let us know how you get on.
I checked the option "Always aks me where to save files"
I checked the option to "enable cookies" - but it did not save
I then followed the commands to: Delete those files and any prefs-n.js files where n is a number (e.g. prefs-2.js). Delete Invalidprefs.js if it exists.
But, these files did not exist
Sorry, but I just need to confirm the following before I decide on the next course of action:
- Did you successfully find the profile folder?
- Did you ensure file prefs.js (and prefs.js.moztmp if it exists) was not read-only?
- If any of the files (any prefs-n.js files and Invalidprefs.js) existed, did you delete them?
- Did you restart Firefox? This is important.
- Does Firefox now save your preferences?
