25925 - Need a way to address "Cookie Monster" privacy issue

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

It would be a good idea if we had a pref that could enable parsing the cookie
domain as described here:

http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~glineham/cookiemonster.html

This could be implemented by having a set of two-dot toplevel domains (.com,
.net, ....) and making sure any domain not in this list is checked for a third
dot.  In addition, it would be nice if this two-dot list could be easily added
to, in case there are future TLD additions.

This is similar to bug 25857.  See the discussion I added there (and also see 
bug 8743) to understand why this won't be fixed.
