In earlier FF versions, I was able to delete individual cookies easily from the list, why have they changed it so that now we can only delete ALL of them? The Bookmarking Window was resizeable in earlier versions, now we have this tiny box, not resizeable, gives bad oversight, and sometimes bookmarks into wrong categories (when you "doubleclick" by mistake.

This really sucks, please bring back the old system!!!

The bookmarks window for saving a new bookmark hasn't changed since Firefox 3 came out, like 2 years ago. Try the Add Bookmark Here ² extension - the "Page Bookmarked" window can be dragged to as large as you want it to be with the + (plus symbol) in the lower-left corner of that window: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3880 A support thread for that extension is here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=522643

As far as cookies management goes, the Options panel for Privacy was changed for Firefox 3.5 (a year ago), but the Show Cookies dialog box is the same as it was in Firefox 2 (and maybe even Firefox 1., but the oldest version I now have installed is 2.0.0.20 - so I can't say for certain).

If you are not happy with the interface for removing specific cookies, look at the various cookie related extensions for one that is easier for you to use. AMO search for "cookies"

The "bookmark this page" feature is just horrible - I don't see any benefit to the download dialog - at one time (2.x) it was resizeable now it is just annoying - Google Chrome & Safari do it better

The "dropdown" dialog is horrible and if it can be changed - where's the documentation?

Did you try the Add Bookmark Here ² extension that I recommended to Werner? Or even look at the screenshots of that extension? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3880

I cannot delete bookmarks or add them without editing files.
