In Explorer I'm used to the following (and several other people I know): I
reject all cookies, except from a few sites I visit regularly. Google.com needs
cookies to remember it's preferences, and Yahoo Mail needs them to let me login.
The problem with Firebird is, that it's not possible to reject cookies except
from some sites. When I edit the cookperm.txt file, it still refects ALL cookies
when I disallow them in preferences. When I set preferences to "this session",
it deletes ALL cookies including the sites allowed in cookperm.txt. 

Summery: there has to be a way to either reject or set to session ALL sites
EXCEPT some specific sites.

It would be elegant to have a "allow cookies" checkbox in the bookmarks properties.

Jesse: Why dupe this against a bug already marked as a duplicate of the bug I
mentioned?  Shouldn't the bug be duped against the original bug?

Comment 4

[Jesse Ruderman]

Because bug 178048 was reported against Firebird.  This way, if bug 178048 is
reopened (unlikely but possible), everything will be as it should be.
