55083 - Cookie management system needs a filter or sort option

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 52523

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Matthew Mastracci]

I've been using the cookie management system recently to handle which sites are 
able to send me cookie.  Essentially, I've selected "Warn me before storing a 
cookie" in the prefs dialog.

Now, when a dialog pops up asking if I want to allow the site to store a 
cookie, I click "Remember this decision".  On a site-by-site basic I can 
therefore handle any privacy issues (and only get asked once - unlike Internet 
Explorer).

The problem is thus: when I accidentally click "no" for a site I don't want 
or "yes" for a site I do want, I need to go to the prefs dialog to edit the 
setting.  Unfortunately, it becomes very difficult to spot the site I need in 
the listbox.  This dialog could be much improved by sorting the sites first by 
whether they can or cannot set cookies, then alphabetically by site name.  In 
this way, I can spot the site I need instantly (I have hundreds in there right 
now) and delete the entry.

Sounds like a good idea.  I hope there is somebody out there who would be 
willing to make this change.  Copying Blake since I know that he likes this sort 
of stuff.
