- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14475323, 7 years agoWish this worked as advertised but it doesn't. After clicking on the icon, I have to go back into Privacy & Security > Manage Data and delete cookies manually. I see the developer's response to some similar concerns that s/he can't reproduce the failure but it seems to be reproducible for a lot of us.

posted 7 years agoSorry to hear that your experience is negative. Please help to track this down:
Make sure that Firefox is not tricking you here. Having a tab with about:preferences#privacy open while clicking the "clear" button caches the displayed cookies in some way. Opening the 'remove cookies' dialog on this page (about:preferences#privacy) will show cookies - although they're already gone.
Please try this:
- make sure about:preferences#privacy is not open
- open a fresh tab, go to some website and log in,
- browse around to confirm you are logged in,
- open about:preferences#privacy and confirm a cookie from that site has been set.
- close about:preferences#privacy
- then click the "clear"button and browse on that site more - you should be logged out again.
- open about:preferences#privacy and confirm cookies are empty - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14510053, 7 years agoIt does not work. Cookies remain active even after several clicks. Completely useless.

I guess it's a glitch because it doesn't do it all the time. I've lost some important work and am desperately trying to retrace my steps, but it's not looking good.
