Stop clearing cookie exceptions?

[firefoxguy]

How can I stop user.js from clearing my cookie exceptions on exit? I want to block cookies by default but set exceptions to websites such as email, github etc.

First off, wow, please do not post your entire user.js here. At least, not without code blocks. And since your user.js is very similar to upstream, maybe it's a good idea to merely tell us what changes you've made?

Second, please check your problem on a fresh firefox profile. You can go to about:profiles, create a new profile, add your user.js there and check whether you're facing the same problems.

Finally, if you see that the problem persists, maybe you can check your settings one by one and figure out what is causing this problem? The only cookie-related setting of mine which is different from yours is that I've got user_pref("network.cookie.cookieBehavior", 1) instead of what you've got, and my exceptions work fine.

Sorry. After doing a bit of testing with a different profile it turns out CCleaner was clearing my exceptions I fixed this by unchecking "Site Preferences"

So you got it resolved? Should be a matter of browser.privatebrowsing.autostart, privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies & network.cookie.lifetimePolicy. You can also test the relaxed branch.

It was CCleaner.exe
