Please confirm whether this (and all future versions) accept third-party tracking cookies, or if this is still a user choice that we need to select ourselves. Thank you.

Out of the box, Firefox is set to accept both first party and third party cookies for the duration set by the site for maximum compatibility.

Are you running the ESR version of Firefox 24? If so, you should have Firefox 24.8.1. You can confirm this by checking the support information page. Either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
  • (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter

It's the second line in the first table on the page. If you have an older version, please update. Mozilla discloses security flaws after each new release, so falling behind can expose your system to attack.

The safest way to update is using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > About Firefox
  • (menu bar) Help > About Firefox

You can allow third-party cookies only from visited domains.

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"

You can set the network.cookie.thirdparty.sessionOnly pref to true on the about:config page to make third-party cookies behave as session cookies that expire when Firefox is closed.
