This question has been posted in the firefox support at https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1266489 The host // LINK DELETED BY MODERATION // keeps making creating cookies on my computer and deleting them on every creation of new tab and closure of the same. I cannot find anything infected on my computer even when scanned in an offline mode ie booted with a rescue disk with multiple anti viruses like Kaspersky, Comodo, Eset and ClamAV rescue disks. Even after upgrading the firefox from 67.0.3 to 68.0.1 with the lastest addons and plugins this behavior has not changed. Cannot find what is wrong in the Windows Installation and there is no malware detected in the in the system by any of the above anti viruses. What is the correct was to get rid of this supposed "malware" ? any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for your time and effort.

If Kaspersky doesn't detect any infected object then it looks like your system is clean. Please don't post suspicious links on this Forum.

  1. Firefox Cookies and Site Data Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed ?
  2. Browser Privacy - Content Blocking - Block invisible content that tracks the sites you visit and profiles you use.

  1. Kaspersky Protection extension Private Browsing - Extension is disabled because Kaspersky Free was crashing every now and then to rule out the firefox being the cause we had disabled it
  2. Firefox Cookies and Site Data - Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed - Another thing to rule the cause - found out that it does not affect anything
  3. Browser Privacy - Content Blocking - Another thing to totally rule out Firefox being the cause of crashes in Kaspersky Free
Log data collated in (original) .pdf, save as a text file, upload please? Yes reproduced below whcih is the same as Cookie AutoDelete Log //Mod edit: deleted lots of unwanted links. Please post text, or post disabled links.

Have you followed the configuration guidance from CookieAutoDelete, which includes configuring Firefox? YES, followed to the letter which is
  1. Disabled Trackers
  2. Disabled All Third Party Cookies
  3. Disabled Cryptominers
  4. Disabled Fingerprinters
in the firefox options Enabled Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed why or how, is the issue you have, related to Kaspersky software ? When I uninstall Kaspersky Free there are nothing in the Log files of CookieAutoDelete.
