175661 - Cookies options don't work...

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[D]

Regardless of whether i disable cookies in the Preferences Privacy section or
under the javascripts section, they still get downloaded to my computer.  Also,
the option to allow cookies, but only for the current session doesn't work.

Reporter, what version are you using? I believe this might have been fixed
already. Try the latest build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/phoenix/nightly/
and report back if you still see this bug with a fresh profile.

The option to allow cookies only for the current session works now (10/20/2002
build under W2k). AFAIK Blake fixed that yesterday and announced it on the
Mozillazine Phoenix forum.

Disabling cookies works for me here. I trid it with http://www.newsoffice.de

Reporter, could you please give a testcase, where you can reproduce this bug
constantly.
