How to set exceptions for automatic cookie-clearing on closure?
Firefox is forgetting my two-step google logins. On the google two-step verification page, there's a checkbox which says "Don't ask for codes again on this computer."
But firefox keeps asking for codes.
i have firefox set to clear cookies on closing.
i also have the urls below set as exceptions, in two places:
-in about:permissions, they are all set to allow, and also to keep offline data without asking
-in options/privacy/exceptions
mail.google.com maps.google.com calendar.google.com www.google.com shopping.google.com plus.google.com
- .google.com
this forum is messing up my list, above. Each url is a separate item in exceptions. The bulleted one actually starts with a star. (good job mozilla, thanks for this ancient text editor)
how do clear all cookies EXCEPT the ones above, when i close firefox? Or, is this not a cookie problem?
do i need to include "http://"

Exception only work if you let the cookies expire and won't work if you clear all cookies manually or via "Clear history when Firefox closes" or via "Clear Recent History". In that case all cookies will be removed or in case of "Clear Recent History" for the specified range. There is no difference between letting the cookies expire when you close Firefox (i.e. make them session cookies) or remove the cookies when you close Firefox, but the latter won't let you keep cookies with an allow exception while the former does honor exceptions and keeps such cookies.

For me only helped when I create an exception for accounts.google.com
Take care: if you use this sollution than you have to sign out from google before closing firefox . (If not you stay log in after closing.)
