Bug 388368 is similar but for images.

Like Gavin wrote there, would you want cookies from tinderbox.mozilla.org blocked if you clicked "block cookies" on bonsai.mozilla.org?
see also bug 317229. (the title there reflects a different proposed solution, but the problem reported in comment 0 is basically the same.)

i prefer this fix over the one there. and i do think cookies are different from images in this regard - the concept of domains is ingrained into cookies, with images it's not.
