Regulary sites don't work without cookies, and so I have to delete the entry in Cookie Manager | Cookie Sites. The problem is finding that entry in the rather long list. Some way to find recently added sites quickly would be much appreciated. Maybe an additional column with the filter creation date? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

this doesn't solve the usability problem of old block entries causing the same problem (i.e. visit a site six months later and want the cookie). better sorting by domain (bug 142179) and a statusbar indicator for blocked cookies (bug 192176) in combination make this bug unnecessary. Plus, in most cases the sites only depend on first party cookies, and Tools->Cookie Manager lets you directly remove/set site perms for the current site. Plus, this would just break backwards compatibility and bloat the whole backend, just to partially fix an implementation detail. Marking WONTFIX based on the reasoning above.

mike, given your choice here, maybe you want to apply similar reasoning to bug 161000?
(In reply to comment #2) That's fine with me. I like the idea of a statusbar indicator as well. Thanks for evaluating anyway.
