Yaron Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hello, CCleaner v5.10.5373 displays Firefox v41 cookies which I can't find in Firefox itself. I've just updated both CCleaner and Firefox; - so I'm not sure which is the "culprit". (Win 7). CCleaner: Options -> Cookies. Firefox: Options -> Privacy -> Show Cookies. I'd appreciate your help.

Yaron Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hello Nergal, Thanks for replying. I appreciate it. - Firefox icon. Those cookies were created in a Private Browsing window and deleted by FF. BTW, I checked "Follow this topic" but wasn't notified of your reply. Regards.

Moderators Andavari Posted September 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2015 Those cookies were created in a Private Browsing window and deleted by FF. That's why CCleaner can't find/see them since using Private Browsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaron Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hi Andavari, The case is the other way around: "CCleaner v5.10.5373 displays Firefox v41 cookies which I can't find in Firefox itself." Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaron Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hello again, I uninstalled CCleaner v5.10.5373 and installed the previous version; - the same behavior. I've reinstalled v5.10.5373. I removed all cookies in the browser and also deleted "cookies.sqlite" in my FF profile folder. CCleaner still displayed a list of FF cookies. I think I've figured it out: CCleaner -> Analyze -> View detailed results. CCleaner displayes removed cookies. http://s12.postimg.org/hgrp04xr1/image.png I'm sure this was not the behavior on my machine. Deleted cookies were not displayed when Analyzing. I'd appreciate an explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm not sure I understand the last part of your last post. I see in your image that the cookie was removed but your claim is that the cookie, which was created in private browser which Firefox may keep in a separate place and thus (as evidenced by your description of firefox not seeing it) doesn't list it.

Moderators Nergal Posted September 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2015 Ok it looks like it's deleting a cookie tied to your adblocker addon so this is what you need to do. I would add to cookies to keep list Also it says the items are removed when you run analyze but they aren't, that's been a ccleaner bug for a long time. I'd note that that I have 26 cookies ccleaner finds and Firefox doesn't show in "show cookies". It looks like they are all related to addons or firefox itself and recreate at next Firefox start ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Yaron Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks again Nergal. Let's forget the Private Browsing issue. I think it's irelevant. I'm sure this was not the behavior on my machine. Deleted cookies were not displayed when Analyzing. A correction: Deleted cookies were not displayed when Analyzing or in CCleaner: Options -> Cookies. I'll try to be more clear. STR: 1) Delete all cookies in Firefox. 2) Close the browser. 3) Open CCleaner. 4) CCleaner: Options -> Cookies. Result: CCleaner displays a list of cookies that no longer exsist. This is new. CCleaner never before displayed removed/deleted cookies. And why should it? They're already removed. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaron Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks again. Adblock is just an example. The screenshot was taken after cleaning the other cookies. The behavior you describe never happened on my machine. It's new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks again. The behavior you describe never happened on my machine. It's new.You're misreading ccleaner's mistake of saying "removed" on analysis and removal for it telling you that the cookie was removed from Firefox by Firefox. The removed is an incorrect way of ccleaner saying "to be removed after anaylsis" that word should be ignored. I would need to see examples of non-addon cookies that, after Firefox's clear cookies has been run, still show up in ccleaner to change my understanding of what the issue is here. Because I can easily recreate your issue on my machine and only see addon cookies that match this situation ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Moderators Nergal Posted September 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 26, 2015 So I updated sync in firefox, mafe sure history was unchecked and now can't recreate. Confirming that sync update and removal of history seems to have fixed this. Edit 1 Confirmation revoked back to drawing board Edit 2 Ok this is super odd, I deleted my cookie database and the 4 gits still were there. Maybe @Winapp2.ini can point me toward another location that it might be pulling from? ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
