I like to have my cookies window open while still being able to click on other items in "options"?

more options

When I browse, I like to keep my "cookies" window open, so that when I'm finished my session, I can simply delete all the new cookies that have appeared at the bottom of the list. Everything below "youtube.com" gets deleted, and I don't lose any of my saved cookies. However, in the newest version of firefox, I can't figure out how to leave the "cookies" window open independently of the rest of the "options" menu. In other words, if I'm browsing and need to go to "options" for any reason, as in "security" or "content" or any of the other options, the "cookies" panel disappears, and all those cookies I meant to easily delete at the end of my session get mixed in alphabetically with the rest of them, meaning I have to go through the entire list searching for cookies to delete. It's annoying. It means I have to try to remember to delete all those unwanted cookies each and every time I use the options menu for any reason whatsoever. I MUCH prefer how firefox has always handled this in the past, and really dislike how it handles this in the new version. Is there some way to make it behave the way it used to without having to go back to an earlier version of firefox?

For the sake of completeness, and/or when the old pop-up Options dialog is finally discontinued:

(1) There is a View Cookies button on the Security panel of the Page Info dialog that pops up in the old way. You can get to that using either:

  • right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
  • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
  • click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"

Note: that opens with the current site preselected in the filter box at the top of the dialog.

(2) You can paste the following to the address bar of a new window (Ctrl+n) and press Enter, and then bookmark it for future reference and resize it as needed:

chrome://browser/content/preferences/cookies.xul
