Unchecking "Delete cookies and site data when Forefox is closed"
Some time ago, I checked (I think) the field "Delete cookies and site data when Forefox is closed" and since then I can no longer open any incoming e-mail. How do I uncheck that box? Why can I no longer open any e-mail? All I see is a "loading" message, nothing else.
Please, help. The alternative for me is to uninstall Firefox and use Microsoft Edge.
Thank you.
