Preparing Firefox for testing

Here is a question  - Under the firefox setting we have the option - Cookies and site data  Do we need to check the check box for "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" ?   Please ...

    Here's the reference for Firefox setup

    I would say the checkbox is up to you?  Is your app leaving cookies in the browser that you want to clean up every time you run the test?  If not, it probably doesn't matter.

    Thanks for the updates. 

     

    Since we are running 70 tests corresponding to 70 applications. I will ask the developers once more to confirm this.

     

    There is one more option in Firefox Setting - History

     

    Clear History when Firefox closes - Should we check this option ?

     

    Thanks

      Again, that is up to you.  That's just a list of the pages that were visited while Firefox was open.  If it won't make any difference to your application, then it won't matter.
