(Whiteboard: [DUPEME?][necko-would-take])

Here's the odd thing about how this feature works. It affects only incoming cookies. So when you make changes, it doesn't update the existing cookies. STEPS: set lifetime for 3 days. Accept cookie from a site (www.nytimes.com) set preference to 2 days. view cookie, still good for 3 days. quit view cookie again, still good for 3 days.
Summary: Cookie: Limit lifetime only affects accpetance, not existing entries → Cookie: Limit lifetime only affects acceptance, not existing entries
