The Firefox cookie system misses an important security feature: if the user keeps a whitelist of allowed web sites, and blocks all other sites (Allow cookies = false), then it is not possible to activate the checkbox "Allow cookies from third parties".
However, this would be quite important: if I whitelist Google cookies for using GMail, I do not want Google to set and read any cookies if I am on another web site with a Google web bug. On the other hand, it is no option for me to just allow all cookies and set the "Allow cookies from third parties" feature, because I want to disallow all web sites to recognize me with cookies by default.
It would be great if you could introduce this tiny security feature!
