232746 - Option to keep Allowed cookies when clearing all cookies

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 149544

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[Eric Bus]

Would it be possible to add an option to keep Allowed cookies when pressing
Clear? Currently, the only option to keep your cookie-cache clean, is to block
all other cookies. But I think most people don't want this, because it breaks
site-functionalities. 

Once in a while I clean up my history, temp. files and cookies. But the
side-effect is that I have to re-login at every site, which is slightly annoying.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
All cookies were cleared.

Expected Results:  
Cookies from the Allow list should remain in the list.

more like 149544

we might implement this, but I doubt it will happen.  There's only so many ways
to skin a cat.
