EDIT: I can't change the name of the thread... so here's the update. I use the Avant browser that has three browser engines... one is Firefox. Cleaner does seem to clean the cookies from the stand alone Firefox browser... but the tools > privacy > cookies section in the Avant FFox is different from the standalone. So Avant has its own cookie cache which isn't being cleaned.
Here's the original post.
I'm so dumb. I've used CCleaner's cookie manager for years to delete unwanted IE cookies and save the ones I wanted... and assumed it worked the same for Firefox... after all I checked them off to be deleted. So for months I wondered why sites like Amazon always knew it was me ever though I signed out... and even changed my IP numerous times. So I finally checked the cookie list in Firefox to find a huge list. CCleaner wasn't deleting these cookies at all.
So how do I get CCleaner to manage these FF cookies the same way it does with IE?
Is there not a way in Avant to have it automatically delete the cookies, cache, etc., when you exit it?
In the meantime I'd recommend looking at the community winapp2.ini file for CCleaner to see if there's any cleaners for it, if there aren't you could request someone make a cleaner if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.

I don't want to delete all my cookies. I was hoping to use the CCleaner to manage cookies... protecting the ones I want from deletion. Avant must keep them buried somewhere in AppData or elsewhere. The reason I use Firefox though Avant as opposed to the standalone version is because it permits use of my bookmarks going back 10 years... and has some other nice features.
