Marcus,

Thank you for the pointer to cookie-controller, much better!!! Almost good enough. Don't know why I didn't think to look for an add-on, maybe assumed that cookie mgmt is a core browser function and didn't think "add-on". Anyway, thx!!!

So then two additional comments:

1) The cookie-controller add-on is SO MUCH BETTER than FF's built-in cookie mgmt that I suggest dropping the idea of fixing FF's built in function and instead incorporate cookie-controller in the mainstream release. If you like, I'll generate a long list of how cookie-controller add-on is better.

2) I don't find the essential and documented "same as the previous session" cookie controller option. Marcus? Do you see this option? Maybe I'm just missing it???
