I am Having trouble with a web site, their cookie test fails even though their cookie is listed in the cookie list. I went to options; Privacy; Your advice said to check "accept cookies" and also check "third party cookies", but there is no boxes to check . This not a real problem but am I missing something.

Not related to your problem but you should reset your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox being used). You appear to be using 3.6.3 but the user agent string identifies itself as 3.0.1. For details of how to do that see How to reset the default user agent on Firefox.

As to your problem, in the Privacy panel, make sure that the top setting "Firefox will" is set to "Use custom settings for history", it will then display more settings.

Finally any reason for using an old version of Firefox with known security holes? The latest version is 3.6.10, you should consider upgrading.
