Details

The cookie manager, and image manager require the user to go into options even if they want to temporarily change the settings for a site. Bug 279109 requested that these tools be added to the "Tools" menu, but adding low frequency tools to the drop-down menu isn't the best sol'n here, IMO. Instead, I think this falls into a more general bucket of "things that need to be displayed in some 'status' area". An icon appears in this status area, clicking on it allows the "Allow this time only | Edit options ..." actions. As per bug 279109 comment 6, opening this new bug to track the decision.
I will learn to type one day. Until then, see bug 270109 comment 6, and pretend you didn't waste time on the first link.
