Cookies don't appear to be cleaned/removed permanently even after using the . Third party cookie allow-block rules do not appear to work as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Tools -> Options -> Privacy ["Use Custom Settings for history"] [Third Party check-box is unchecked to disallow 3 rd party cookies]
2. [Problem 1] Third party cookies still appear
3. [Problem 2] Allow/Block list does not filter by domains. I tried adding as *.domain.com as well as .domain.com and domain.com -- Still does not work.
4. [Problem 3] Show cookies/Remove [All] cookie[s] -- I close and reopen FF 4 nightly build 8. The cookies are still there.
Actual Results:  
Mentioned in steps to reproduce.

Expected Results:  
1. I should be able to block all cookies from a particular domain as the dialog apparently allows.
2. Remove Cookie/Remove All Cookies should clean all Cookies.

Thanks in anticipation for patiently looking into my issue.

I don't have any allow/block list, but I have the same issue.

It also seems to be the same as reported here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/675906?s=cookies&as=s

Without more recent reproductions we can't do anything here, so going to close for now - we can reopen if the same problem recurs.
