Please give me back the ability to elect per-session cookies only, with each visit. You stealth-changed the settings!
I have been accumulating cookies since you changed the settings, and thus I've been bleeding information since I updated. This is NOT IN MY INTERESTS. Mozilla has clearly been taken over by people who are getting paid by those in whose interests it is to force people to divulge their information. I am shocked and disgusted. THE SINGLE CONTROL ALLOWING ACCEPTING ALL COOKIES AND THEN DELETING UPON CLOSE OF FIREFOX DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I want the finer control over the process WITH EVERY SITE I VISIT. It was not a problem to make the choice ever time. WHY WOULD YOU REMOVE THIS FINER CONTROL? This is such [expletive deleted.]

hi BettB, you are right - the ask me anytime option for cookies was removed in firefox 44, which was supposed to happen for a long time (bug 606655).
i would recommend the following setup instead: in the custom history options choose "keep until i close firefox" as a default option & set exceptions for the few sites where you want stay logged-in across sessions. this way you'll have less work to do over all and a privacy-minded setup after all.
or as an alternative you could also take a look at an extension like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/
Note that you can set network.cookie.thirdparty.sessionOnly to true on the about:config page to make third-party cookies behave as session cookies that expire when Firefox is closed. If you visit websites that require third-party cookies to be enabled then you can temporarily enable third-party cookies to check what cookies get created. Once you have determined what cookies you need to accept you can create an allow exception for these cookies and disable the third-party cookies globally.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
I have set firefox to never accept third party cookies and delete when I close, and it still sucks. Now I have to close my browser all the time to delete cookies I never wanted in the first place.
This means that while I keep a session open, I'm GETTING cookies from slimy warty blistery entities that I want no part of. And those unprintables are getting information about other things I'm doing during that session. This is unacceptable.
I see this as the thin end of the wedge to forcing universal acceptance of cookies, and tracking of everyone, everywhere. It's wrong and Mozilla shouldn't do this to us.
I want to be able to not accept cookies at all from one site and to accept per-session ones from other sites, and persistent ones from a very few, as I choose.
I don't want to have to muck around creating exceptions when all that functionality was there in the dialog box.
Mozilla, you STILL SUCK! Clearly you have caved in to the commercial interests that benefit from the widespread collection of data on all of us, and sold us down the river. Bitches. Seriously. Give us back our control over our own browsing, you [expletive deleted]!
PS - nobody even responded to the fact that I said I'd found about a million cookies on my system that weren't being deleted until I discovered this quite some time later - because of firefox's evil new stealth cookie policy - thus bleeding information to a bunch of companies and god knows who else at every turn.
Understand this. I don't want anyone to be tracking me around the Internet.
You people shouldn't either. Or have aliens eaten your brains? What the hell is wrong with you all???
