How can I quickly access the Cookie Exceptions window?

I manually allow websites to store cookies on my computer, but to do that, I have to go to:

"Options" => "Privacy" => "Use custom settings for history" => "Exceptions"

I found this chrome:// link ( chrome://browser/content/preferences/permissions.xul ), but it does not work like the chrome:// link for Cookies ( chrome://browser/content/preferences/cookies.xul ).

Is there any sort of shortcut to Cookie Exceptions that I can turn into a bookmark or a simple Add-on?

Firefox 6, to released soon (Aug 16), will have the about:permissions page to manage all permissions fr the domain in the current tab.

Easiest is usually to click the Site Identity Button button and use More Information > View Cookies or go to the Permissions tab.

Thank you again cor-el, that perfectly answered my question. I'll wait for Firefox 6, but in the meantime will probably start using the Site Identity Button.
