From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010531 BuildID: 2001053104 some sites present a flurry of cookies upon entry that are temporarily necessary; I believe the two options, clicking accept repeatedly and remembering this decision and later having to manually forget it, are both needlessly involved Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: any site requiring cookies that may only need a single or session-long visit Expected Results: Mozilla should provide two options after "Remember this decision": one for a permanent acceptance and another just accepting until the session end; Garth Wallace also suggested on the wishlist that "it may be useful for more than just cookies."

I don't think this is a dup of 53354. That's about reducing the lifetime of the cookie, this is about remembering the decision (which may be to accept, to reject, or to accept with a reduced lifetime) for the session so the dialog doesn't keep popping up every time the server tries to set that cookie.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1pre) Gecko/20080919103915 SeaMonkey/2.0a1pre WFM. My default setting is "Ask me" so whenever an unknown server tries to set a cookie, a dialog pops up, with three buttons and a checkbox. Quoting from memory, the buttons are "Accept", "Accept for session" and "Reject", and the checkbox is (what amounts to) [ ] Apply this decision to all cookies from the same site. The above corresponds to my reading of the "Expected results" from comment #0 If you want to REOPEN, please specify on which _current_ build you cannot restrict sites to setting only session cookies.
