uBlock deletes cookies.sqlite upon list update

Unread post by Nuck-TH » 2024-12-10, 20:49

Operating system: Windows 10 22H2 Enterprise
Browser version: 33.5
32-bit or 64-bit browser?: x86_64 AVX2

After updating i have a problem - browser deletes cookies.sqlite on every start. It i rename .bak to it - cookies are actually loaded from there and work on sites.

If possible, please include the output of help->troubleshooting information (as text):

I am on Windows Pale Moon 33.5.0 with the now standard AVX version. Cookies are persisting between restarts. I hesitate to mention it because I am sure you have checked, but have the Preferences, Privacy settings changed?

This is also happening to me since I updated Pale Moon to 33.5.0 last night. It happens when I restart Pale Moon.I have not altered my privacy settings, I am not sure where to look for settings about cookie storage?

You've got a lot of extensions in there, so test in a new, clean Profile.
If cookies.sqlite is retained in the new Profile, it's likely one of your extensions that is the problem.

@MrD, what version of PM, & do you also have some of the same listed extensions?

My Pale Moon version is 33.5.0 (64-bit).

Out of the list of extensions, I only have these ones -

(Nothing stands out with those extensions.)


Actually, if you're getting a .bak, doesn't that infer that PM was finding some "corruption" (something irregular) with the cookies.sqlite file?

I went to my about:config page and noticed that "privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies" was set to true. I set it to false and that seems to have fixed the problem. I have not been to my about:config page for a while so it could not have been me that changed it accidentally. It seems the update did it somehow.

The update does not touch these user preferences. If it did, it would impact literally everyone on all platforms.
More likely is that you changed the setting in preferences to "clear history on shutdown". One of the default settings is to clear cookies in that case. This behaviour has not changed in Pale Moon in a very long time.

I have that unchecked(and haven't touched that settings). And it happens in two different profiles(through both aren't new).

privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies btw is true as well(and it is shown to be default).

Yes, that is correct. as stated, the default setting for cookies is to clear them, IF you enable clearing history on shutdown (controlled by privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown / the checkbox)

This... doesn't help, because that checkbox(and corresponding perf) are unckeced/false.

But like for MrD, setting privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies to false fixes deletion of file. It isn't intended behaviour, so it is crutch btw.

See if the issue persists if you start without any enabled extensions.

New weirdness - file got deleted _during_ browser operation and with mentioned setting at true. Plot thickens.
I'm yet to see if it happens with extensions disabled. Testing now...
Update: it apparently doesn't. Damnit.

Just as heads up: antivirus(windows defender) is set to exclude whole Moonchild Productions dir.

My Pale Moon version is 33.5.0 (64-bit).

Out of the list of extensions, I only have these ones -

Classic Add-ons Archive
Greasemonkey for Pale Moon
PDF Viewer
uBlock Origin
Palefill Web Technologies Polyfill
are this only extensions you have? i need to narrow list to test one-by-one.

Just a data point. This happened to me too. I haven't changed this preference at all to always save cookies etc on shutdown, but the first time I manually closed the browser after the update, all my cookies and login data were gone from all sites. It only happened once though? The only addons I have in common with the OP is uBlock and Greasemonkey. I just restarted several times to make sure and it's not deleting cookies now. It was only that one time.

Get rid of the last one - that polyfill is no longer needed since Pale Moon has long since implemented the features it was substituting for.

File got deleted within some time after i enabled uBlock origin(1.16.4.30) during session with all extensions disabled.
Which sucks, because it is very complicated extension, so it wouldn't really narrow down to anything...

OK, guys, I'm gonna jump in here with some info. To start I installed @Nuck-TH's PM v33.5.0 AVX2. I don't have the problem with the cookie file being deleted. However, "CookieKeeper" would not delete all the extra cookies. I'm using @UCyborg's UBO version 1.16.6b1. I reinstalled PM 33.4.0.1 AVX2. "CookieKeeper" works correctly once again. Good luck figuring this one out guys.

Interesting. I have the 1.16.4.30 version (gorhill) which used to be the one on the Pale Moon addons page, but now it links to the UCyborg version. You said with the UCyborg version, you didn't experience deleted cookies? I might try to switch to that one. It looks like it's an active project whereas the 1.16.4.30 one hasn't been updated in years. Maybe that's the reason for the change on the PM Addons site. I grabbed the .xpi for that one.

I see uBO mentioned, so perhaps these are somehow related?

PSA: uBlock Origin will interfere with your DNS prefetching setting
No, that was implemented earlier, but issue with cokkies file is in last PM version only.

Btw, while i don't wan't to sound demanding, can we get at least some acknowledgement / directions for further troubleshooting / anything?
This isn't insignificant issue as it can cause data loss.
