The ability to block all cookies except for a selected few (specified by
inputting a site such as msn.com) is a very simple cookie management feature
that needs to be implemented into Mozilla ASAP.  Using MS Internet Explorer, one
can configure his/her Internet zone to block cookies, and then placing sites
they would like to be able to set cookies on their machine in the Trusted zone.
 Zones are not needed, but the same logic stilll applies.  Also note CookiePal
(in the 2nd screenshot on the URL listed above); there is a field to add sites
to accept cookies from, and then for unknown servers, all cookies can be rejected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit
2. Perferences
3. Advanced -> Cookies

Actual Results:  The cookie manager only allows you to reject cookies from
specific sites, and only after you have received the cookies.

Expected Results:  The ability to block all cookies except for a selected few
(specified by inputting a site such as msn.com) is a very simple cookie
management feature that needs to be implemented into Mozilla ASAP.
