cookie preference not remembered for local html files
I use Firefox's very useful "ask every time" cookie screening facility and have selected "Use my choice for all cookies from this site". However, it will not remeber my preference for local files. The Adobe Acrobat Editor's help uses html files on my PC's local C: drive. Whenever this is launched Firefox always displays a "Confirm setting cookie" message "The site file:// wants to modify an existing cookie." 16 times before the html is fully displayed and at least once every time I select a link within the html. Firefox's address bar displays: "file:///C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_US/Acrobat Pro/9.0/help.html" How can I avoid this annoying, time-consuming behaviour with local files whilst still screening cookies for internet sites?

You would probably need to access local files via http://localhost/ to be able to set an exception as you can't do that for the file protocol.
I've tried variations of the theme of "http://localhost/" like: "http://localhost/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_US/Acrobat Pro/9.0/help.html" in the Firefox address, desktop shortcuts and cookies exceptions. These all result in errors. What browser address should I use instead of: "file:///C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_US/Acrobat Pro/9.0/help.html"?
Does this help?
Unfortunately none of the suggestions in the forum page worked for me with Firefox v15. I've added "localhost" to the cookies exception list as "Allowed" (by entering "file://localhost/" in the exceptions address box) but still no joy.
