There is a "View Cookies" extension, which will improve firefox' cookie handling. It adds a pane in the page info dialog from which you can view and remove cookies for the site you are on.


Since I have no windows, I am unable to evaluate AdSubtract, so I have no idea what your ideal cookie handling would look like...

    Yes, that one's pretty good. I think AdSubtract has some nice features missing from Firefox and "View Cookies" -- particularly, "Remove all cookies except for the ones I've marked as 'trusted'." I do think that a Firefox cookies extension that uses the Adblock models of wildcarding and integrated UI would be great, and would surpass what AdSubtract currently offers.

      The use of Exception in Privacy allow for both allowing and blocking certain sites like if you wanted to block google.com but also keep gmail.google.com you just add google.com to block and gmail.google.com to block and it works. But if you want to block both gmail.google.com and google.com you just have google.com in the block section.
