Options will not save "use custom settings for history" -- help!
Cant set my browser to "use custom settings for history". It keeps defaulting to "re,member history" which blocks cookies.

After choosing "Use custom settings for history", if you do not modify any of the settings that revealed, and they all still match up with "Remember history", then Firefox will show "Remember history" the next time you go into that part of the Options dialog.
But "Remember history" should allow all cookies, not block them. Is a site saying that cookies are blocked??

Thanks -- got it. There is a blogger cookie, however, that Firefox wont keep -- it stops blogger from tracking page-views. But it still tracks my page-views so it is very tough to check out the look of the blog without screwing up the page-view count. Cant figure out if this is a Firefox or blogger problem. Firefox is the only browser I use, BTW Thanks for the fast reply anyway, Holly :)
Cookies that Firefox normally keeps from session to session also could be cleared by:
- Add-ons (usually privacy related or cookie-specific extensions)
- External utility/privacy/clean-up software
Is it just the Blogger cookie that gets cleared, or all cookies?
By the way, you can use the about:permissions page (type or paste about:permissions in the address bar and press Enter) to keep an eye on cookies for the various Blogger-related domains.
