In FF2.0 it is no longer possible to block a cooky from the cooky list. This is very user unfriendly and I wonder why this has become worse with every version of FF:
- In V1 I opened the cooky list, checked, "block this cooky", selected the unwanted cookie and pressed delete. Very nice when I wanted to just delete some cookies and block others.
- In V1.5 I had to check the "block deleted cookies" checkbox outside the cooky list. This made it quite cumbersome because I had to switch back and forth between the outer and the inner dialog.
- Now, with V2 the option to block a cooky from the cooky list is completely gone. At least, I can't find it. I have looked for an equivalent option but I can't find it.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Tools/options/Privacy/Cookies/Show cookies
2.
3.
Actual Results:
There is no option there to block an unqanted cooky from the list.
Expected Results:
An option to block an unwanted cooky from the cooky list
I know that I can manually enter cookies in the exception list. I know that I can set FF to ask me every time about what to do with a cookie. But both of these are very *tedious* and annoying. I'll show you my use case: It is what I want to do and what worked perfectly well in V1, resonably well in V1.5 and no more in V2:
- Happily surfing the web with all cookies being accepted. I'm fine with that.
- One or two times a week I open Tools/Options/Privacy and open the cooky list
- I then go through the list and remove unwanted cookies *and* I want some of them to be completely blocked from now on
- I don't want to take a note of the unwanted cooky, close the cooky list, open the exceptions list and type in the cooky there and this is what FF 2.0 now forces me to do
- I want to block unwanted cookies from the cookies list. That worked perfectly well in V1, reasonably wll in V1.5 and not at all in V2
