1201361 - cookie sender list would be helpful

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Description

[Nick Levinson]

Cookies are often unclear about which website sent them. Please add a table that lists each current cookie name and the domain or URL of the website that sent it and the domain or URL for the page that was displaying in the relevant tab when the cookie was sent. Listing both solves the problem of identifying, for example, the mysterious ad-serving domain by the main domain being accessed by the user when ads were being served. The list entry should be deleted right after the associated cookie is deleted. The user interface to the table would be two additional text fields next to the list of cookies in Edit menu > Preferences > Privacy > Show Cookies... button > Cookies dialog.

This is in FF 40.0 for openSuse 13.2 Linux.
