Make it easier to manage cookies... PLEASE!

[Wayne]

Privacy is supposed to be the hallmark of Firefox, the reason why we are supposed to love it so much.  Yet the means by which one can manage cookies necessitates IT knowledge that we casual users do not have.  Please make it easy for one to manage cookies-- keeping those for sites one trusts and uses (e.g. banking), and deleting those for sites that one casually visit.  It feels as though this was given initial priority and implemented so the "box can be checked", then quickly forgotten.

Can you please explain more what total cookie protection means, does this mean that we have to still go in and block cookies somehow.  Like what does this mean if I say 'accept all', and what happens if i say ' necessary cookies only' 

Thanks, I think it would be useful if you added an explanation to the information below.

I’m so very tired of having to double-click “Last Used” in the Cookies management window. How about sorting cookies from Most Recently Used as default instead of by Storage size? How about combining the Manage Data and Manage Exceptions windows into a single easy-to-manage window? Why is the Manage Exceptions such a tiny, tiny window when I have long, long lists to manage? I’m still trying to understand why cookies from websites I have NEVER visited (like krxd.net) get stuffed onto my computer from a website where I do allow its cookies (like cbs.com) when the setting should block cookies from unvisited websites???

Hamburger > Settings > Privacy & Security > Manage Data [button] > (select web sites) > Remove Selected [button]

The "Removing Cookies and Site Data" should allow the user to unselect web sites on the list. At present a user who has selected a large number of web sites for cookie and site data removal but chose one site by mistake must choose Cancel then re-construct the entire list of sites for cookies and site data removal. This is user-hostile behavior. I'm surprised this wasn't fixed years ago.

I was going to open my own feature request for this, but did the search first, and I couldn't agree more on this.  It has bothered me for a long, long time...

I absolutely DO want to "delete all cookies when I close Firefox"  --- EXCEPT --- I absolutely DO NOT want to delete any cookies that are in my "exceptions".   It is non-intuitive, and quite strange to me that cookies and sites that are marked as "exceptions" are deleted nonetheless when I close Firefox.  So, I can't create exceptions to be safe and secure and at the same time delete cookies and history after casual browsing when I close the browser?  I hope total cookie control is released soon and that it does at least "fix" this.

Thanks for all the serious work you do!

I just want the ability to save some cookies that would be untouched when you purge. A setting where all cookies are deleted but log in cookies for favored suites and the like.

I used to use CCleaner to do this, but I no longer use CCleaner and would LOVE to have this functionality back.

yes, yes, yes.   Please do this.  Right now managing cookies is a nightmare because I want to leave them for about 6 sites, but usually have hundreds to delete.  My preference would be to have a list of websites from which I will accept cookies, and for the system to refuse all others unless I affirmatively agree to them.
