I configured firefox that far, that after I close the browser the cookie exception (domains of URLS which need to place cookies) are entirely deleted too, what shouldn't be done. 

You have the possibility to delete all history with the combination: Strg-UpButton-Delete and there the exceptions list you set once before at Settings->Privacy->Cookie List are gone.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add domains in exception list
2. delete history throgh STRG-UP-DEL Key
3. all exceptions are gone too
Actual Results:  
the exception list is gone

Expected Results:  
that only history and stored cookies are gone, but not the exception domain list
Yeah, I've noticed this, too, when manually using "Clear recent history ..." without the "cookies" check box.  One of the other choices also deletes the exception list.  If that's the design intent, I'd consider it a misfeature.  It's really annoying to have to add all the sites whose cookies I want to treat differently again.
