Older versions of Firefox (the 3.0 series) did not do this. It is annoying because I want to clear the cookies set by those sites, but not remove those sites as exceptions. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tools -> Options -> Privacy uncheck "Accept cookies from sites" 2. Click Exceptions, add one or more sites to list. Confirm/Close all open dialogs. 3. Tools -> Clear Recent History -> Everything -> Clear Now 4. Observe as the Exceptions list just created is clear. Actual Results: Removed my exceptions. Expected Results: Keep exceptions, but delete the cookies.

I'm not able to reproduce, Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3pre) Gecko/20090821 Shiretoko/3.5.3pre. Reporter, can you try in safe mode with all add-ons disabled? The Everything option in 3.5 hands off to nsICookieManager.removeAll(), which is what 3.0 does. Looking at the code I don't immediately see any significant difference between 3.0 and 3.5, unless there is a new cookie-changed observer somewhere.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Upgraded to 3.5.2 and tried in safe mode and the same thing happens.

I hammered it down to the "Site Preferences" check box. Checking this box in the clear recent history dialog results in the exception list getting deleted. I'll avoid checking this box in the future. If this is the expected behavior, sorry to bother, close this.
