[opensuse] OT: how to close Firefox with open Cookie notifications?
Hello. I often search for image sources and therefore quite often land on very annoying stupid f***ing s**t pages that want to open masses of cookies. How can I close a firefox-window without clicking each and every of these notifications? - I know I can kill the process, but this will kill all my other open ff-windows, too - Yes, I checked "use this setting for all cookies from this site" Or is there a way to answer all notifications at once? Sorry to ask here, I tried to message to mozilla forum, but my question was not accepted by a "moderator" who probably clicked too much ;-) Thanks for hints!

You need an add-on. I assume that you are using Firefox and if so get at least CookieCuller.

Thanks Basil, but as much as I see this is to manage cookies. My problem are the "pop-up messages" "xy wants to save a cookie". When a website I never visited before wants to place 78 cookies (yes, really...), I have 78 alerts and must click all of these... The firefox window itself is grayed out, toolbar, menu etc. are not accessible until I answered all of those alerts. I want to avoid the need to answer all of these: just close the browser window, for example (sites that use excessive cookies are never interesting anyway), but I can't... menu-bar and window controls are disabled while there are still open alerts... ???

I don't get this when I browse. I suspect that one or more of my other add-ons may be involved. Perhaps you can give me one URL which causes you the problem and I will see if I get the same avalanche of cookies?

Yes, addblock helps. But you do get those popups if your setting is "ask". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Yes, I've set cookie policy to "ask". One of the offending sites is *NSFW - wants to set 84 cookies:* http://www.xfobo.com/f8/t50422-64.html I "must" have set firefox to ask, because there are some cookies that I accept for session or in general or not at all and I want to decide case by case. I know I could deny all cookies and only allow specific ones, but this is too much clicking in the settings each time I want/need to allow... I could also allow all cookies only as session cookies, but there are some I want to keep, and there are others which I don't even want to allow for session. I guess setting "ask" is the only way to achieve this. It's usually no problem, but on sites like the mentioned one it's just too much, and I'd love to deny all cookies from there *with one click* (more or less) - but as said before: everything is deactivated, except the cookie-alerts... Oh: I have addblock+ installed. Great. But doesn't help here... kind regards to everybody!

Yes, I agree. Time ago I set it to "ask", but now I can't find the setting. I think they hided it, in about:config. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

In my german version it is in the settings - Tab "Datenschutz" (privacy?) under "Chronik" (history?): - accept Cookies save until: (ask each time) This is firefox 33.0 on OS 12.3 -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com room in Barcelona: https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/2416137 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I found it! The for "history" was "remember history". If you change it to "use custom settings for history" suddenly several settings appear, and one of them is for cookies. If you tick "accept cookies from sites" then you have some more. Under the "keep until" setting, you can choose "ask every time". The easy setting is: accept third-party cookies always/from visited/never keep until they expire/I close FF (or ask). The "asking" is disabled, which is why I don't see those questions, not because of addblock. Resetting to "ask". Let's see what it asks. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Well, you have cookies set to ask and a site wants to set 84 cookies and you wonder why you are getting 84 pop-ups.

Activate the main FF window, push Ctrl+N to open a new Window, there, you can disable Cookies. [..]

NoScript. If you have it set to block all sites by default, then teach it permitted sites, when you encounter a new site, the defaults are usually to block all objects from untrusted sites which seems to include cookies. For a bit more control, you can also install 'RequestPolicy' that can allow you to choose which sites a given site can talk to. So even w/o addblock, Say there are 84 different sites (none of which are on your global white list). Then "RP" will disallow most communication. It has ease-of-use, like enabling the main site when you visit a new site, or "Temporarily[or permanently] allow all requests from this site"...etc. I know 'NoScript' is available on linux, I forget if RP is on there or not -- I think so, but been a while... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I don't see this behavior either. I also use Addblock Plus, which might help in this case. I couldn't get along without it, highly recommended. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I now use AdBlock Edge which supersedes AdBlock Plus I believe. Daniel is talking about cookies which is what is throwing me off and which is why I asked for a URL just to see exactly what he sees :-) .

It depends on your cookie settings: allow, allow for session, block. There is, or was, another one which was "always ask", and which I can not find where it is. When you have it on "always ask", well, you are always asked. Some sites have many cookies, and you get that popup asking what to do. For each individual cookie you can answer session, always, never, IIRC. But you have to answer. IF you have Addblock, many of the adverts are blocked, and it is those perky sites which have those dozens of cookies which you do not see. Yes, I had the problem Daniel mentions, and Addblock helps a lot. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

You could force a shut down, with Ctl-Alt-Esc and click on a Firefox window. Then restart Firefox, but before restoring, deselect the offending site. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
