[QUOTE="i7ii, post: 1105292, member: 116614"] And yet... "it doesn't work as expected". Don't know what/which cookies or site data - it still keeps (or if any) - cause it doesn't show any details - but even adding a site to FF internal Exception list... [ATTACH type="full" width="465px"]285857[/ATTACH] ...didn't really help while clearing browser data and cookies.... [ATTACH type="full" width="462px"]285858[/ATTACH] ...as in, before clearing data... [ATTACH type="full" width="511px"]285859[/ATTACH] ...and after... [ATTACH type="full" width="512px"]285860[/ATTACH] And yet, [URL="https://malwaretips.com/"]MalwareTips Forums[/URL] it's still shown as part of above exception list. There's another internal cookie manager - for deleting specific cookies manually - which does work if you have the time to waste - manually clearing individual cookies....
