When I block cookies globally and enable them for specific sites, navigator.cookieEnabled is still false for those sites.
This is a real problem for sites that detect cookies via navigator.cookieEnabled and then display a nag screen if they're disabled, since it can only be worked around by accepting all cookies.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable cookies globally.
2. Visit the URL I provided.
3. Enable cookies for lunboks.bplaced.net.
4. Reload.
Actual Results:
"Cookies are disabled.
document.cookie is 'testcookie=testvalue'."
Expected Results:
"Cookies are enabled.
document.cookie is 'testcookie=testvalue'."

Well, what now.
I've filed this bug 4 months ago, we've gone from Firefox 3 to 3.5, and this dumb behavior is still present. Anyone wanna at least confirm it, maybe?!
This is a dupe of Bug 230350
Have a look there if you totally want to loose faith in this bugzilla.
I would have actually confirmed and marked this bug a dupe, but I am not allowed to.
And I just spent quite a lot of time trying to find out *why* I am not allowed.
(I am supposed to do some other stuff first, and then I have to mail a guy named gerv - ain't that obvious?)
*sigh*
Thanks to Sindre Dammann, Brendan Eich and Boris Zbarsky, this bug has been fixed in tomorrow's nightlies and should make it into Firefox 8 (should be released in November).
Thanks for reporting.
