Hi.

In IE 8 there is a provision under Tools -> Delete Browsing History to Preserve Favorites Website Data, like CNN and MSNBC settings, etc.

I don't see how I can do this in FF 4.

I tried leaving the Site Preferences box unchecked, to no avail. All of my personal website settings are deleted anyway.

What's up?

Please respond.

TIA :0)

@ cor-el:

Thanks for the response.

To me, it is insanity to track down the origin of each website setting that is stored. In IE, this is a real no brainer - you just leave the "Preserve Favorites Website Data" box checked and life is great.

I'm more than surprised that Mozilla would design a browser in this way - it should be easy to use, not the other way around.

Is it me? :(

Is there an add-on?
