Request an option in Cookie Manager to make all new cookies session-only, even
when the sending server indicates a cookie should be persistent.  This is needed
for those Web sites that prohibit loading unless they can set a persistent
cookie.  Currently, I get this result by locking my cookies.txt file as read-only.  

However, this feature would also require the ability to use the Cookie Manager
to mark an individual cookie or set of cookies as persistent.  Currently, I get
this result by terminating Mozilla, unlocking cookies.txt (making it
read-write), restarting Mozilla, going to the specific Web page that sets the
cookie, exiting that Web page, terminating Mozilla, and relocking cookies.txt
(making it read-only again).
