I'm running a program with selenium and it was working fine, then I updated to firefox version 22 and now its throwing my error saying 3rd party cookies need to be enabled. Is there a line of code I can add to prefs.js in order to ensure that 3rd party cookies are enabled?

Note that current Firefox releases have a new setting to accept third-party cookie from sites that you have visited before.

  • Always : network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 0
  • Never  : network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 1
  • Visited: network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 3
  • Block all cookies: network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 2

user_pref("network.cookie.cookieBehavior", 0);

Note: That is the default in Firefox 22.
