Hi Sorry for my english Where are built-in cookies control tools In Firefox 17.0.1? In previous versions of Firefox "Tools->Options/Privacy" contains the "Cookies.." button. In version 17 i can't find any cookie-relevant info in Tools, in Options, anywhere else. Why?!! I decide this problem by installing "Cookies Manager+" addon - that is similar to old native Firefox cookie manger. But why this useful tool was removed from Firefox 17?

hello firef0xuser, when you set firefox to "Use custom settings for history" in the privacy panel, you can still have access to the advanced cookie controls, etc.

Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track
