Cookie control similar to Chrome
Hi. I am a comfortable Chrome user but thought I'd give Firefox a try. I like it but with one hangup. I'm Chrome, I set my cookies to Block All. In the top right of the address bar is a cookie symbol which you can click and enable individual cookies for the current site. Surely Firefox has something similar to this? It is a quick, secure and idiot-proof method of controlling cookies.
Any help?

Hi, it takes searching in the proper place and then going over the results to see what suits you purpose :
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
Thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I don't think this is the controls I'm looking for.
It seems if you set Cookies as Allow, everything is allowed. I can then mess around with each and every cookie on each and every web site I visit. Life is way too short for that. If I set Cookies as Block, the Addons have no effect.
What I would like is a default Block All mode with a simple Allow for sites I choose. After trying a number of Addons, I don't believe this is possible.
You would have to create a cookie allow exception with the proper protocol. You can do this in "Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions" for the current domain or if you need third-party domains then use the Cookie Manager in Options/Preferences or use an extension.
