[Bug 573731] [NEW] Firefox does not save settings for cookies

[dokubuntux]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I just installed ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and now I'm configuring
Firefox. I told Firefox not to accept cookies, but some sites need
cookies to work correctly (like launchpad). So I have to add exceptions
for sites which are allowed to store cookies (Edit --> Preferences -->
Privacy --> Cookies, Exceptions). But when I close Firefox and start it
the next time, the exceptions are lost and I have to define the
exceptions for cookies again. This behavior is not very comfortable and
takes a lot of time.

My privacy settings for Firefox:

Firefox will: [Use custom settings for history]
[ ] Automatically start Firefox in private browsing session
[ ] Remember my browsing history for at least [90] days
[ ] Remember download history
[ ] Remember search and form history
[ ] Accept cookies from sites
    [ ] Accept third-party cookies
    [ ] Keep until [they expire]
[x] Clear history when Firefox closes
