I cannot clear "ad" cookies (ie, adbrite.com, adadvisor.com, etc.) from my cookies. I've tried everything except for uninstalling/re-installing both Firefox and AdBlock Plus.

Installed 9.0.1 today. Rechecked my preferences, just to make sure, and found a host of cookies that I can't delete, nor will they delete upon exit, as I have, and have had, checked off in the Preferences pane. Have AdBlock Plus activated. Have these sites listed as blocked. Have Privacy Browsing and No Third Party Cookies are accepted.

I think I solved my issue. I enabled Safe Mode, then enabled each add-on, one at a time, restarting FF between each enable. I did not have the TACO add-on. I hope this is the end. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

Little puzzle, I did not think this query had been posted, as I couldn't find it to edit afterwords, it did not show up under my contributions or a manual search through each recent post. Today, there are all of the posts, of course, with the same problem. So, I truly thank Mozilla for their patience and all the people who took the time to read this and the other two posts. I apologize for the repeated posts. I really didn't think they had been posted because I couldn't find them afterwords to edit with my attempts at fixing this issue.

Are you sure you don't have an extension that has a "block" list of cookies?
