My yahoo cookie to keep my password (and other sites the same) I need to keep. There has to be a way to accept cookies too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Thankyou for the neat new approach to browers. I love it!!!! even though it is not finished yet.
I'm not understanding what you are asking for. Could you please explain by way of an example. Also, what part is not finished yet?
I think that the reporter wants to keep only some cookies and delete all others. For the moment i use an applescript (I have a mac) to do that in the cookies.txt file. it keeps only some cookies (looking at the site and the name of the cookie) It is an enhancement
Oh, so you would like to select the cookies that you want to save (rather than delete), then somehow invert the selection (so that selected items become unselected and vice versa), and the press delete. Is that the sort of functionality you would want?
Really i need some think more sophisticated. Without choosing manually the cookies i want to keep. Manual is synonym of mistake Actually i have 14 cookies to keep Instead "block cookie" from this site an other tab named "accept cookies only from theese sites" may be a solution. Better(?) will be to have a check box for each cookies saying "keep cookie" (it is not the good term) and two delete buttons "Delete all" and "Delete unchecked" And the "delete unchecked" can be done automatically at Mozzilla startup or shutdown (Optionnaly) The two options have not the same effect. For the second the cookie remains active during the session, but never with the first I think that there is many other solutions. I hope that this is really the problem of the reporter
I've seen this before. Dupe of something.
yes for bug Bug 75915, but what says the reporter ?
Dear Sirs: I thank you for all your input...I am very new to this and am really out of league with you guys but I wanted to test drive Mozilla (which I really like). I was test driving the cookie manager and found that I could not accept a cookie that had a password I needed to keep, and therefore I could not go on to delete other cookies. I do appreciate your taking an interest in what I said I like the suggestion for the check boxes but just a button that says 'accept cookie' would do also. I am not familiar with the proceedures around here but I thought that that should be brought to your attention. I could not find anything listed in the bug report list so I entered this.
reporter: can you please clarify the problem / feature request described by this bug. please include more details about the feature that you are looking for. thx!
As I understand this bug, I think the reporter both wants to accept new cookies from some sites (bug 75915) as well as keep certain cookies from being deleted (bug 149544). In either case it's a dupe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 149544 ***
