Without changing settings, the new version begins at my "Google" home page with 48 tracking cookies. After several pages tonight, my Norton anti-virus removed 64 of them! I un-checked "Accept 3rd party cookies" and kept the "Do not track" checked. That didn't work. The last version did not pick up these infections. The version before it picked up 2 - 3 cookies upon opening.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

In the mean time I'm going back to an older, better browser!

Hi,

If Accept 3rd party cookies is unchecked, then the 48 cookies would most likely be the site cookies of the visited sites. The Do not track mechanism is as of now non binding on websites. The sites can, or need not honor the DNT header.

DNT updates

You can also consider the Reset Firefox feature via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information to check if any add-ons other than the active tabs/startup tabs are placing cookies.

(To revert to the previous profile you were using, close the new profile (i.e. exit Firefox), start Firefox and choose the Default User profile. While the Profile Manager is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers), or the former profile, as the case may be).

Thanks. It hadn't occurred to me that a plug-in extension was making Firefox vulnerable or generating the cookies itself. I just deleted the last few plug-ins that I'd added and the problem has, at least temporarily, gone away.
