I wish to be able to specify a few cookies, who can always be used, (like
forexample cookie for google-search-preferences), and the other cookies, I want
to have a lifetime for this session. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
At the moment I can only specify every cookie always, or all cookies for this
session. When I delete all cookies, I have to set the search preferences in
google again.

Expected Results:  
the tab cookie-sites, should have an option, to set the persistence-state of a
cookie, not only allow or block, but also a keep for example. When I push the
remove all cookies, that it won't delete the ones I want to keep. Or put an
extra button at it, that only removes unspecified cookies. The best would be
that not specified cookies are automatically removed when I close the browser.

Egon -- update to Moz 1.7b, which has the functions you want (except 'Keep' --
protecting cookies from deletion.  But by only accepting session cookies from
other sites, you won't have to delete your cookies).

Marking worksforme.
