where is the option to ask me to store cookies or not when visiting new web sites?
used to have this option before a moved everything that can be moved over over to an SSD drive. I just cant find it now.
With "Accept Cookies From Sites" unchecked, I am getting about 10 or 20 ad cookies every 5 or 10 seconds. What kinda bs is this?
I just read that the Windows Presentation Foundation plug-in ( as listed below) is a .net security update from Microsoft meant for Internet Explorer that Microsoft who has no apologies and says is malicious and can not me removed. I am able to disable it. Hopefully this will be sufficient.

hello, you can change this when you go into the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy and set custom options for your history: Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop
in Tracking or History ? I see the "Keep until" but I think the relates to the life of the cookies after they are on my harddrive.
when you set "keep until: ask me every time" you will be able to reject cookies before tehy are set.
ok so I dont have the option of manual filtering anymore?
"ask me every time" is the manual filtering
Note that not all websites work properly with the 'ask me' setting as in some cases you allow cookies for a specific sub domain and not for the top level domain. This 'ask me' setting also can cause you to get a lot of alerts asking for permission to store a cookie.
There are cookie manager extensions that you can look at.
thanks, I will check out the managers. I used to manually filter the cookies on the other harddrive. Might have updated Firefox, I'm not seeing that option anymore.
