All current Mozilla versions have a limit of 300 cookies that can be stored. I
currently have over 250 cookies that I need to keep around and I've gotten to
rejecting almost all new cookies that come in so they don't overwrite the ones I
need. Given that almost every site these days want to write at least one and
many times several cookies, the old limit of 300 is way too low.

Another note, I have over 1000 sites in my accept/reject list and I have over
300 that are in the accept column. Given that each site wants to set more than
one cookie, going over the limit of 300 cookies is very easy.

While I understand this request, it has been previously WONTFIX'ed : see bug
108986, bug 110786 and bug 213963.

Bug 108986 was marked invalid because it never got enough info. Bug 110786 was
marked won't fix because the reporter was only asking if there was a way to
change the limit, not an actualy discussion about changing it. Bug 213963 is a
duplicate. I just didn't find it when searching before opening this bug.
