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
