how do i block cookies and sites forever, without having to block them every time i restart my mac?
firefox 3.6.20 Mac OS X 10.4
how do i permanently block sites and cookies from theses sites?
aspca.org, donate.aspca.org. and other sites that display images that i find too disturbing?
i tried Foxfire/Preferences/Exceptions/block but once i shut down they are gone for when i restart. i then have to re-add them to the blocked list.
thanks for your time, Mark

-> click Firefox button and click Options -> Privacy -> History section -> Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History" -> REMOVE Checkmark from Permanent Private Browsing mode -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search and Form History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> click Exceptions... button and click Remove All button -> Now type the addresses of the websites on which you want to Block Cookies e.g. aspca.org , donate.aspca.org , etc. -> click Allow for each, One by One 4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> Keep Until : select They Expire
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.

Do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
