963349 - Third party cookie exceptions are cleared when Firefox is closed

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[(not reading bugmail) Nick Desaulniers [:\n]]

I am frequently unable to sign in using Persona, and when I check why, it seems that my third party cookie exceptions have been cleared once again.  I haven't changed profiles, and I don't think I have settings enabled to clear my third party cookies.

Under Preferences > Privacy I have:
* Use Custom Settings for History
[]  Always Use Private Mode
[X] Remember my history and downloads
[]  Remember search and forms
[X]  Accept cookies from sites
  * Accept Third party cookies: Never
  * Keep until: they expire
[]  Clear history on close

While I have never accept third party cookies, I have exceptions for:
* login.mozilla.org
* disqus.com

And they work but every once in a while, my exceptions are gone.  Maybe on close.

Hi Nick,

This bug description is too vague for me to reproduce. If you have steps to reproduce from a clean profile, then please reopen so I can debug it.

Thanks,
Monica

The third party cookie exceptions might also be getting cleared by clearing recent history.  Still having trouble nailing STR down.
