    I use Permit Cookies (Firefox extension) - it allows you to set cookie permissions (allowed - permanently, allowed for each session only and disabled) on a site basis. I then disable cookies by default, and use the Permit Cookies statusbar widget (or Alt-C) to control the permissions for sites that require cookies.

    Note that it can cause problems - some sites go into infinite redirect mode when cookies are not allowed, and it may not be obvious which site you need to allow.

  11. Re:Feature request by Jisakiel · · Score: 1 · on Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 Released

    Maybe this is what you want...

    Permit Cookies Extension. You press Alt-C and it shows the status of the current cookie. I leave them disabled by default, and when some site breaks you press alt-c and set it on session, always or maybe remove. Only with the major buggers as yahoo mail I need to choose "ask me" in the preferences because the cookie is some intermediate one. And works with 1.5b1, by the way.

    I wonder how was I able to deal with my cookie-related paranoia before :D

  12. Re:Flash fixed? by Teddy+Beartuzzi · · Score: 1 · on Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 Released
    The one indispensible tab extension I use is Focus Last Tab. It simply remembers which tab you were looking at last, so when you close the current tab, it returns to that one, instead of the default one. When I open a tab, it's almost always from a link, so the natural obvious spot to go back to is the previous tab.

    That one behaviour has completely eliminated my original wish for dragging tabs around. I see now that I only wanted to drag them around so that I can control where I go next after opening and closing others.

  14. Re:Firefox has poor cookie management by Duckman5 · · Score: 1 · on Death of Cookies, Spyware Greatly Exaggerated?

    A much more useful variation on your suggestion to simply disable cookies is to install the Permit Cookies Firefox extension. It allows you to set exceptions for sites without going through the preferences dialog. All you need to do is hit Alt+C and set your preferences for the particular site.

    The only problem I've ever run into with this particular setup is those obnoxious sites which have a redirect in the middle that sets the cookie (MS Passport, for example). Other than that, it works great and I only get the cookies from sites I explicitly approve of.

  15. I use Firefox + Permit Cookies extension by Artemis3 · · Score: 1 · on Death of Cookies, Spyware Greatly Exaggerated?
    To block cookies by default unless a site absolutely needs it.

    Cookie management in Firefox is a little bothersome, thats why i installed Permit Cookies extension, so you can easily whitelist sites by pressing ctrl-c. Then you can choose: allow, session, block, or remove the cookie for the site you are currently viewing.

    Permit Cookies would be a little more user friendly if it worked just like NoScript extension (which does the same, but for javascript).

    In my opinion both tools should be integrated into Firefox.

  17. I heart Permit Cookies extension by mpontes · · Score: 1 · on Marketers Back "Cookies Are Good For You" Campaign
    I did try making Firefox prompt for every cookie. It was a disaster, I couldn't browse the web without being prompted to accept a cookie every 5 seconds.

    Right now, I have cookies disabled by default and the Permit Cookies extension installed. Every time I want to be logged on automatically at a site (eg. Slashdot), I hit Alt+C and press "Allow", which will allow cookies from that domain. When a site bitches about me not accepting cookies but I feel that site shouldn't use cookies at all, I hit Alt+C again and press "Session", which will make the cookie disappear when I close my browser.

    Zero problems with tracking cookies since I started using this method with a minimum hassle.

  18. I still feel whitelisting is best here. by jZnat · · Score: 2, Informative · on Marketers Back "Cookies Are Good For You" Campaign

    I've been using whitelisting with [first party] cookies (generally with sites I'm a member of) and javascript (only for sites I use that require it such as gmail). Normally this would be a tedious task, but I have some extensions to help me out when it comes to security in this manner.

    Actually, I have probably over 40 extensions installed right now, but those are some of the most useful.

  19. Re:Cookies off by default by packetl0ss · · Score: 3, Informative · on Marketers Back "Cookies Are Good For You" Campaign

    The Permit Cookies extension sounds like what you need. It lets you allow a site's cookies via a hotkey (ALT + C by default). The version from Firefox's Extension site seems to require an older Firefox. Clicking through to the author's homepage gets you to a version that works in Firefox 1.0.4.

    Not related to machine learning, but something that bugs me often is that when you close a tab you are returned to the tab before the one that you closed... It would be absolutely fantastic if FireFox would return you to the last most recently used tab.

    This is implemented in in the form of an extension by FLST; but it would be a great was built in option.

  22. Re:Why prefbar is not listed by ccweigle · · Score: 3, Informative · on Building a Better Mozilla With Plugins
    I'd like a plugin that allows cookie modification on the fly. Now that'd be useful!


    Permit Cookies is almost this.

    It doesn't let you fix up just any cookie on the fly (so cookies coming through from ads can't be adjusted "on the fly"), but you can bring up "allow, block, remove" with a key press. You can change the cookie it's going to adjust (say if you know the ad server), but there's no list of cookies accessed for this page, just the current server in an edit box.

    I should say I'm using 0.2, so it's possible that it does more already, or that there are plans to do more.
