YMMV. HTH Marcus, Thank you for the pointer to cookie-controller, much better!!! Almost good enough. Don't know why I didn't think to look for an add-on, maybe assumed that cookie mgmt is a core browser function and didn't think "add-on". Anyway, thx!!! So then two additional comments: 1) The cookie-controller add-on is SO MUCH BETTER than FF's built-in cookie mgmt that I suggest dropping the idea of fixing FF's built in function and instead incorporate cookie-controller in the mainstream release. If you like, I'll generate a long list of how cookie-controller add-on is better. 2) I don't find the essential and documented "same as the previous session" cookie controller option. Marcus? Do you see this option? Maybe I'm just missing it??? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833952 Title: cookie dialogues can pile up out of order, but must still be clicked in order To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/833952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm getting a particularly frustrating variant of this problem with firefox 17.0 on 64-bit Fedora 17 Gnome. I get a stack of these cookie confirmation dialog boxes and I wish to click "allow for Session" on each of them. The top of the stack won't take a click! If I drag the FF window, some of the stack of dialog boxes moves, and some doesn't. Then, at least one of the visible boxes can be clicked and dismissed. Observation 1: the biggest surprise is that the box that I can click after this maneuver seems to have the same contents as the former top box that was unresponsive. I wonder if the display was not correctly rendered before the maneuver. Observation 2: if the cookie dialog box were not modal (is that the correct term?) and each of them would take clicks at any time, the order of the stacking would not be so critical.

[Bug 833952]
Apologies if this is not the proper kind of message to leave here, I want to put in a plea for addressing this problem. Being able to choose which cookies to accept (or not) is an important privacy feature and one that, as a user, I've invested a lot of time in. In the course of web use, I have accepted thousands of cookies and rejected thousands more. I'm not the only one, many friends and co-workers also go thru this pain in order to preserve some semblance of privacy while also being able to interact successfully with the many websites that have become an essential part of our lives. But the irritation of using this feature in its current half-implemented form, is torture. For instance, every time I start FF, it asks about the doubleclick.com cookie and every time, I click to not accept and the "remember decision" is clicked. Yet FF asks me the next time FF is started. Its not just doubleclick.com, this happens for every website I use. "remember decision" seems to be just for the current session. well, not even that, because sometimes i get asked even for cookies from sites that i've already responded to in the current session. and yes, the multiple pop-ups for multiple cookies from the same site (which is what i think this bug report specifically addresses) is beyond annoying. i'm sure that this is not easy to address, requiring a new interface and perhaps a new model. but pls do this as my other options are to accept all cookies (NO!) or try another browser. as a devoted FF user, i don't want to do that. not clear that other browsers do much better at this anyway... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833952 Title: cookie dialogues can pile up out of order, but must still be clicked in order To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/833952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

“Always ask” is a great feature. I don't want cookies from sites that don't actually need it to work, nor from sites I'm not actually visiting. Please don't remove this feature. That said, the multiple windows issue happenned again just happened to me again with FF 12 (see screenshot; note the repeated content on some of them). One thing which makes the thing worse with all these dialogs is that the last one becomes modal for all the rest. So they have to be clicked in exactly the reverse order of when they appeared. Considering the attached screenshot (there actually are several layers, all for the same domain), this becomes so messy that killing firefox after having made the choice for the topmost window (once found) one and checked “Use [...[ for all” is more efficient. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833952 Title: cookie dialogues can pile up out of order, but must still be clicked in order To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/833952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 833952] Re: "Ask me everytime" cookie dialogs pile up and can't be clicked
** Description changed: + Steps to reproduce: + 1. Open Firefox with a new profile + 2. Set cookies to 'Keep until: "ask me every time" + 3. Go to http://community.htc.com + 4. Click "Deny" for each request that pops up. Go slow enough that you can see if multiple dialogue boxes pile up. + 5. The boxes don't always appear in the same location. When you can see part of a dialogue box behind your current one without dragging it away, click on it. + 6. Continue clicking "Deny" in the boxes that are presented to you. + + Expected result: + Each cookie is denied in turn. + + Actual result: + At some point, you reach a dialogue box where it will not respond. You then need to go back to the one that you skipped (in step 5) and deny that request before you can move on. This can be difficult to find if a lot of requests build up. + + This seems pretty contrived, but when you are quickly trying to click + through a lot of requests, it can happen unintentionally and without + notice. + + It might not happen every single time - the changing display location of + the boxes seems (to me) to be random, so sometimes you might just get + "lucky" and not run into any issues. On this particular site + (community.htc.com), the cookie requests seem to be infinite if you + don't click "Use my choice for all cookies from this site", so you have + plenty of chances to see the problem. + + + Original report: + If I have the cookies setting "ask me everytime" (Edit->Preferences->Privacy->Accept cookies from sites->Keep until: ask me every time) and I go to a site that sets a bunch of cookies the dialogs to accept/reject the cookies pile up quickly. This in and of itself is a bug as most of the time each dialog asks the exact same question. But the bigger problem is that these dialog boxes must be clicked on *in a particular order* and they get out of order. So I'm stuck with maybe 30 dialog boxes that are all piled up on each other. I have to move them around in order to find the correct one to click on and most of the time give up and kill the browser - which has to be done from the command line since the window kill button must be disabled because of the dialog boxes.

[Bug 833952] Re: "Ask me everytime" cookie dialogs pile up and can't be clicked
I actually just had this happen to me in the course of normal browsing. I was doing something at htc.com, but I wasn't looking for this at the time so I don't know exactly what I did to make it happen. I'll try to come up with steps to reproduce. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833952 Title: "Ask me everytime" cookie dialogs pile up and can't be clicked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/833952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Scott, Can you give an example of a website where this happens? I have visited a site where I get lots of cookie popups before (which is annoying), but I have never had problems with them being out of order.

[Bug 833952] [NEW] "Ask me everytime" cookie dialogs pile up and can't be clicked
Public bug reported: If I have the cookies setting "ask me everytime" (Edit->Preferences->Privacy->Accept cookies from sites->Keep until: ask me every time) and I go to a site that sets a bunch of cookies the dialogs to accept/reject the cookies pile up quickly. This in and of itself is a bug as most of the time each dialog asks the exact same question. But the bigger problem is that these dialog boxes must be clicked on *in a particular order* and they get out of order. So I'm stuck with maybe 30 dialog boxes that are all piled up on each other. I have to move them around in order to find the correct one to click on and most of the time give up and kill the browser - which has to be done from the command line since the window kill button must be disabled because of the dialog boxes.
