How do I change the DEFAULT 3rd-party cookie behaviour to "never"?

I browse with cookies off. If it becomes necessary to accept a site cookie, I'll open up the preferences and put a check in the "Accept cookies from site" box. The problem is that the 3rd-party box changes from the greyed out "never" to "always". Before I can move my mouse quick enough, I've now got anywhere between 5-50 popups from Firefox requesting cookie permissions. There's no way to close the page without answering all of those first.

I'd like to know if there is a setting within Firefox (config?) that I can change to have the default remain at "never" for 3rd party cookies. If I choose to change it to "always" or "visited" then I'll do so, but I would prefer it to start out at "never".

Thanks.

You can inspect the cookies and passwords for the domain in the currently selected tab:

  • click the arrow to expand the security message
  • click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info"
  • click the Permissions tab to inspect and modify (cookie) permissions
  • click the Security tab to inspect and modify cookies and passwords in a standalone window

You can click "View Cookies" to inspect the cookies for the domain in the currently selected tab. You can click "View Saved Passwords" to inspect the passwords for the domain in the currently selected tab.

You can check the "Accept third-party cookie" settings and possibly select "From visited".

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"

You can set network.cookie.thirdparty.sessionOnly to true on the about:config page to make third-party cookies behave as session cookies that expire when Firefox is closed.
