    i cannot reproduce your problem. this may because i dont use firefox in sandboxie. sandboxed firefox read out two states, not one. the problem is not firefox, its your config around. i can tell you for sure that firefox act as expected here. and ofc if you delete cookies in the shown dialog you also delete storage for that page. hint: do not delete only 24h, delete all. (ctrl+shift+del)

    I don't know what they did to 107.0.1 but it is freezing on me again. Haven't had any issues since 104.x.x.

    There will be a fix in Firefox 108, but I cannot say if it's the same issue you see.
    'Firefox window randomly freezes'

    That fix is in Firefox 108 Beta 8, already.

    Thanks, maybe I'll go ahead and install that. I don't do anything critical with it on this PC anyway.

    107.0.1 on my Mac screwed up my LastPass Drop down Menu from the Bookmark Toolbar.
    107.0.1 on my Win 10 has no problems, LastPass is working correctly, just the Mac is screwed up.

    Do you mean Firefox bug 1781167?
    For a long time, it seemed to be Linux only, but later it got clear that also some macOS and Windows OS users are affected. See details in the bugzilla 1781167 thread.

    In turn I can confirm that the 108 beta ( currently beta 8 ) fixed it for me if you don't mind running a beta.

    Will have to wait until Dec 13th, because version 107.0.1 is my workhorse. Thanks for the verification though. :thumb:

    status has not been changed to windows, whatever Susan wrote (forget the catalina guy with OS EOL since 2019 - old OS > no mercy).

    if this would be also a windows issue i would have read about in the german firefox forum, but there is nothing - its the greatest german firefox community.

    OK, thanks, perhaps I got too carried away by what Markus Stange [:mstange] wrote, about it being a cross-platform issue:
    "With a random-duration sleep() in the right place I was able to reproduce this relatively easily on macOS. So this is really a cross-platform issue which just depends on (un)lucky thread scheduling."

    Yep. And it updated to beta 9 today. And next week I will install the RC over the top of that to get back on the release channel.

    Thanks I just installed over the top. Nice. You may have to remind me as Firefox is not my default browser any longer.

    I will have to say that despite the 108.x.x betas/RC being more stable then 107.0.1, it still seems less stable then 105.x.x through 107.0.0. They obviously broke something and I think it still needs work. It does not freeze up like 107.0.1 but it does become unresponsive at times on sites that are fine on Edge. That said I can close it unlike 107.0.1 where I had to actually kill it.
