Browsing history is set to "delete on exit" from Firefox however cookies and history are still listed in Internet Explorer - which I never use. Why??
Firefox is set to delete browsing history on exit. Appears to be working fine. However, if I open Internet Explorer - after closing Firefox - my cookies and history are listed in Internet Explorer. I have to go to Tools >Options> Internet History and delete everything manually. (Internet Explorer is also set to delete history on exit. Why are my cookies and history being transferred from Firefox to Internet Explorer?

This can be the result of using MS plugins like the Windows Media Player or Silverlight unless you would be using an extension like IE View or IE tab that uses the IE rendering engine (that do not show in the System Details List).
Thanks cor-el for the reply. Do not have any MS plugins that I'm aware of. No Silverlight,etc. How can I tell if Windows Media player is plugged in to FF? No IE View or IE tab.
Not a major problem because I can go in and delete manually--minor hassle. Have had the same problem across several FF updates. Just curious why this is happening.
You can try to correlate the time and date of the files in the IE Temporary Internet folder and the IE cookies folder with the Firefox history to see if you can find a match which website might be involved and check those out for plugin usage.
Thanks, will give it a shot.
