Only want exception cookies. I uncheck 'Accept cookies' & close & exit FF. Next time FireFox opens, the Accept cookies checked again. What gives?

I set privacy options - Tell sites I do not want to be tracked - Use custom settings for history - Clear history when Firefox closes (I specify sites to accept cookies in Exceptions)

When Firefox starts again, the 'Accept cookies from sites' is checked again, against my wishes.

Thanks
