I noticed that cookies were set from sites that are listed as 'blocked' from setting a cookie. I typically block cookies from sites, then delete the related cookies. I noticed that some site blocks were defined multiple times, likely because I saw their cookies, and not realizing the block had already been set, I set another.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:

3.



Please contact for a list of sites and how the block was defined, if needed. Also, 2 of the sites are just IP addresses.

this is likely bug 317229. the block list will apply to any subdomains of sites you've blocked, so e.g. if you block cnn.com, then www.cnn.com, weather.cnn.com etc will also be blocked. so, if you pick a site you want to block and add an entry for it at the highest level per the above example, does that solve the problem?

if not, we'll need more info here.

duping to bug 317229 for now, please reopen if the above doesn't work
