Hey utahron,

Try going to Options->Options in the Firefox menu. This will open Options menu and you can change your settings of cookies in the Privacy tab.

You should also look at this article. It describes some of the differences between the older version of Firefox and FF 8.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Matt_G. I just did not pursue the "options" far enough. I saw all of the other things, with check boxes, under options and did not pay attention to there being another options to click.
