When selected "Remove all cookies" infers that all cookies for this site will be removed. When pressing the button, no warning dialog is shown informing you that ALL your cookies will be removed. The cookies are just deleted. As such, I've just lost a years worth of cookies with one button press. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Options -> Cookies -> View Cookies 2. Select a page 3. Select "Remove all cookies" Actual Results: All cookies are deleted.

Weird that I can't find an exact duplicate. The possibility to Cancel the action was removed with the new options window, somewhere between 21 and 27 Feb 2005.
