Can I use the Firefox "Accept cookies from sites - Exceptions" dialogue by just specifying the top part of a domain?
Can I use the Firefox "Accept cookies from sites - Exceptions" dialogue by just specifying the top part of a domain, for example using https://winehq.org to mean https://forum.winehq.org and https://bugs.winehq.org and https://appdb.winehq.org etc.?

I think that specifying the top level domain should work. You can easily see this when you open the Storage Inspector or open Tools -> Page Info -> Security to check when cookies expire.
Note that you need to clear existing cookies to get new lifetime rules applied. Firefox shows a notch on the Control Center 'i' icon to show that you made changes to the permissions, click the 'i' button to see what permissions this is about.

Please try it and report back on whether it works!
Yes. I did the above, quit Firefox, restarted Firefox and I was still logged in to each of the three domains. Expiry dates for the cookies were respectively, a month's time, a year's time and 2038. Thanks.
