just noticed on my firefox pc with up to date program ,under TOOLS/ OPTIONS /PRIVACY when show cookies is looked at and remove cookies is pressed they dissapear, but go back to firefox [ off/on ] and their back ,on checking found a lot of complaints , buy no answer to fix ,
on L/T WITH OLDER VERSION ALL COOKIES CLEAR ?
anyone have suggestion ,too difficult [ health ] to clean out and install older version....advice appreciated as l/t is difficult to use.

Hi
If you 'Remove All Cookies' then shut down Firefox.
Then when you re-start Firefox you might see a few cookies there depending which page is your Homepage.
In my case, when I open Firefox at yahoo.com I can see there's a whole bunch of cookies (4 folders full) but I think that they have all been put there by Yahoo.

you have to check the toolbars installed.
