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.

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.
