Privacy & Security not syncing cookie exceptions

more options

I lately discovered the feature that I can block all the cookies and allow some websites by exception. This is great because it works just like any firewall. Block everything and allow whats necessary.

Problems are: 1. Every time that I have to add an exception we have to navigate to about:preferences#privacy. There could be an easy button to add exceptions. 2. The exceptions are not being sync so every different browser that I'm logged in I have to add the exceptions again.

Cheers.

Hi

You can possibly use "Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions" to change the default action to Allow. Note that exceptions are part of the Site Preferences, so make sure you do not remove the Site Preferences.
