In FF 1.5, there is a preference to allow cookies from the original site only. This preference is removed in 2.0, or I can't find it. I want this option restored since it enables me to use sites that use cookies (ie, most sites) while at the same time blocking cookies from ad servers.

Reproducible: Always

Note that with this option you're not really blocking cookies form ads-server anymore - they have found a way around this pref many years ago. It has become useless, see bug 324397.
