There are no Cookies options in my Firefox 3.6..3... I've searched every tab, but it's not there... I never had these problems on my Mac but now I am using Firefox under Vista at work (and it's the French language version but this is not the problem). In which tab of the options menu are the Cookies supposed to be managed? Thanks a lot!

Hello Chris.

As far as I'm aware, Cookie options were changed a bit for 3.6. You can usually find them at Tools > Options > Privacy. Be sure to select the option you want in "Firefox will:".

Running FFox_3.6.3 on U_10.04:

On FFox toolbar under ... I have no choice. Randomly clicking keys I blundered on some cookie_related stuff ... but who knows what it means?

Gawdsakes this "abstraction" of cookie/no-cookie is just horrific. Put the choice up-front where it belongs and has lived for the last-10-years ! Do you **understand** how much use-ability you have removed from FFox ??

Hiding the cookie options until you change the "History" dropdown is really awful.

Having third-party cookies enabled by default is also really awful.

The combination: looks like Firefox is trying to hide this privacy-raping default setting from users.

Bad form Firefox. I'm not impressed.
