Hi all!
I’m new to NixOS and so far I’m loving it! I’m in the middle of the process of “nixifying” all my stuff, and I’ve found a problem that I’ve not been able to solve yet:
When using LibreWolf on my Mac OS laptop, I can easily add exceptions to store cookies from the padlock icon in the search bar, as you can see in the screenshot, so I don’t have to re-login to some sites every time I open my browser.
The problem is that on my NixOS laptop there is not such an option. I have compared settings in both setups, and they both look the same. I even tried explicitly setting pref.privacy.disable_button.cookie_exceptions
to false
, but no luck. The option is still not showing in the padlock menu.
Here’s my LibrefWolf config, in case you are curious.
I know I can manually add exceptions in the settings page, but doing it directly from the search bar is way more convenient.
I searched all around the interwebs before writing this post, but I found nothing. Does anyone know how can I enable this option? Thanks a lot!

In LibreWolf you’ll find that in
Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Enhanced Tracking ProtectionI don’t have that button in Cachy Browser (LibreWolf Fork for CachyOS) too.
Maybe! But the “Enhanced Tracking Protection” option does show up in my MacOS too (under the shield icon menu) along with the one I want under the padlock icon menu, so I have both in there.
