 > Hi,
 >
 > My Tor Browser (v5.0 on OS X v10.10.5) does not save the privacy
 preferences, '''__not even for the current session.__'''
 >
 > I  set History preferences to "Never remember history" and then perform
 a  "Clear all current history" action and close the preferences tab.
 > Then  (either with and without restarting the browser) when I open the
 preferences again it jumps back to "Use custom settings" with enabled
 "Accept third party cookies".

 "Never remember history" is already the default setting. So, there is
 something wrong with your setup probably due to the myriad of other
 extensions you have installed. If the problem happens with a Tor Browser
 we ship in its default mode then please reopen the ticket.
