hi. there is one particular website that i often want to toggle between allow/block cookies

at the moment, every time i have to go into firefox/options/privacy/use custom settings/exceptions.......Then....i need to type out the full url, block.....then remove this to allow cookies...and go thro the whole process again each time

is there a shortcut to block/allow cookies from a url ? so i can type in the url once, and then maybe have a button to block/allow from this site. thanks

You could consider using an add-on for this. These two seem to have a toolbar button that lets you toggle site permissions. I haven't tried either of them myself:

Yes. Maybe. There's a toggle here:

Right-click the page > View Page Info > Permissions > Set Cookies
Tools > Page Info > Permissions > Set Cookies

But I don't know whether it works at, for example, the www.mozilla.org level or the mozilla.org (any subdomain) level.

i will try this thanks....still quite long winded, have to right click/menu option/permission

would really like to be able to do it using either a button, or a single menu.....or something. or Even better.....an F-key shortcut or something. ctrl-key alt-key would be fine

by the looks of it, on a sub-url (.co.uk/page), the cookies page applies to the top level domain (.co.uk), so ok to an extent

I think that cookie controller has done it nicely, thanks :)
