where did pop up window go for cookies. i have sensitive information on system and office machine and must accept cookies from certain financial sites, but block all others. need to have this back ASAP. have had to switch browsers until this is fixed which is causing other problems and lost emails.

hi pauldahmer, the ask me anytime option for cookies was removed in firefox 44, which was supposed to happen for a long time (bug 606655).

i would recommend the following setup instead: in the custom history options choose "keep until i close firefox" as a default option & set exceptions for the few sites where you want stay logged-in across sessions. this way you'll have less work to do over all and a privacy-minded setup after all. or you could generally block cookies and only allow them from those domains you have whitelisted ahead of time.

as an alternative you could also take a look at an extension like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/
