Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

I set to refuse all cookies, then when I changed it to accept cookies when I
want it to, it doesn't recognize it.  Email websites, and sites that require
cookies (yahoo chat/email, and hotmail) say that cookies are turned off when
they are not. 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.turned off all cookies
2.turned all cookies on, set "ask before accepting cookies"
3.began accepting cookies on some sites

Actual Results:  
ON email sites, and chat sites that require cookies to be on, don't recognize
that they are on.  Also, ebay keeps me logged in, however, it leaves the "sign
in" button available as if I am not.  In the past when I remained logged in, the
button changes to "Sign out"

Expected Results:  
Tell the websites that cookies are being accepted.  And let me into the websites.

I have had this same problem except I have never turned cookies off....see
following message from paypal site:

Error 3014

Return to the homepage 

====================

the above came from:

https://www.paypal.com/CREDITCARD

It seems that some sites might be working as passwords and userids get loaded
into entry boxes correctly...

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616,
released today!

This is your new 1.7, released today, set to accept all cookies without
question. As usual, many sites can not retrieve cookies set for future automatic
sign-ins. Comcast, Morningstar my biggest gripes. Earthlink, Amazon work okay.
Etc. Anyone wanna fix this?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
