Even though I have ordered Firefox to clear my entire browsing history and cookies when it closes, it is not doing so when I exit. I have to manually clear the history and cookies each time.

I am running Firefox 10.0.2 for Linux, and have never had this problem with previous versions. I wonder if it is an issue of Firefox not quitting completely when I close it...meaning it would not clear the history and cookies because it is not technically shut down. This is just a theory, however. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi chwise,

You should look at the article How to fix preferences that won't save. It might be the Firefox is having trouble writing to the pref.js file so it can't save the setting.

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks for the suggestion. I made sure the prefs.js file had read and write permissions, and since then it seems to be saving my settings and deleting all the information I ordered it to on exit.

Thanks for your help! This was a minor problem, but it's nice to know that everything is working the way it's supposed to now.
