How to Prompt before saving cookies, and Remember?
One thing I Really like about IE8, is that I can set Privacy/Advanced to Prompt before saving cookies/tick Remember my answer.
When browsing with FF, it saves cookies for every site I visit- Many are tracking cookies! I block 3d party cookies, allow session cookies, and keep until they expire. I get dozens of unknown cookies, individually deleting them/add to block..., is a time consuming Hassle! The easiest way is to run CCleaner/Cookies Setting... & hope I don't delete a Password site (names are not always recognized!). I also try to surf in sandboxie (no direct access to FF cookies!), and auto-delete contents on exit. Some PW sites don't work well in sandboxie though, so I sometimes surf outside it.
Is there some easy way to get FF to Prompt before saving a cookie & remember my answer (like Passwords)? A plugin or...?

You can let all cookies expire if you close Firefox and make an allow exception for cookies that you want to keep (Tools > Page Info > Permissions)

I don't like all that manual handling, so I Installed Cookie Monster! It easily lets me manage cookies/permissions...!
