note that this is very similar to bug 516221, just with cookie approval popups instead of auth popups this includes the problem that these popups must be dealt with in order, and if there are a lot of them it's not unusual for them to get out of order so I have dozens of popups that I have to drag around to get them out from overlapping each other, then just click all of them to find out which one wants attention next and keep repeating the process until they are all dealt with.

that bug was marked as s duplicate of 339804, all the same problems reported there apply

I am having this problem as well. FF 3.6.3 on a MacBook with no theme installed. Catalogchoice.org is a site where I recently had this happen. Ticketfly.com is another. I accept a cookie for a site with "use my choice for all cookies from this site" checked and yet I get dialog box after dialog box from the same site requesting permission to set cookies. Same thing happens if I deny permission to set the cookie with "use my choice for all cookies from this site" ticked. Some commercial sites with a lot of ad beacons and third party cookies require a dozen clicks or more to dismiss all the boxes coming from just a single domain.

This problem is still ongoing for me - other problematic domains include cnn.com, oprah.com, and many shopping sites.

I thought there was an existing bug asking for an option "apply my decision to all cookies on this page"; however, I cannot find it right now. That would be a suitable solution to this bug.

The "out of order" aspect of this mentioned in comment 1 is pretty easy to run into on Ubuntu, as the dialogue boxes don't accurately stack on top of each other. Related bug in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/833952

This bug looks like a duplicate of bug 648609. Can someone with the needed bugzilla permissions mark it as such, please?
