"Accept cookies" in FireFox - found, [Solved]
« on: August 18, 2010, 04:19:38 AM »
Once upon a time when I was young ;) there was a "Do not accept cookies from..." option in FireFox. I don't seem to find it now. There's only a "Remove cookies" option.
Lurked to about:config and found there under "cook" search those options:


Anybody knows if I can set to not accept cookies from a certain website through about:config?

Try Edit->Preferences->Privacy->Exceptions from where you can Block, Allow for Session or Allow the use of cookies

I use a FFox  addon called cookie safe. Works like a charm.  ;)
Be very, very kind to your neighbors, but don't take the fence down!

Thank you very much!
It seems I do not have "Exceptions" here on PCLOS 2010.1 LXDE fully updated:

In Edit->Preferences->Privacy (History), set Firefox will to Use custom settings for history to reveal Exceptions
