forums.mozillazine.org — Issue was raised in latest Security Now. Firefox always blocked 3rd party cookies, now in 2.0 it removed the option. To fix: about:config in your address bar, change network.cookie.cookieBehavior from 0 to 1. I did this immediately. Also in the mozilla forum thread, link to extension that blocks 3rd party cookies.

You can also use the CookieSafe extension for more control over accepting cookies<a class="user" href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2497/">https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2497/</a>

This is stupid.. there is a lot of things cookies are used for, not tracking people.. like a lot of websites shopping carts and so on... I guess people are scared of what they dont understand

The Free Tor anonymity system <a class="user" href="http://tor.eff.org">http://tor.eff.org</a> start it up, set your browser to use the socks proxy 127.0.0.1 port 9050 . Works great!

Mine is already set to 1 as well. I think it's because I had 3rd parties disabled in my previous Fire Fox and when I upgraded to 2.0 it just imported the setting.

@RunnyBabbitMine is set to a 2 as well. It could be anything between 0 and 3: network.cookie.cookieBehavior in about:config2 = Disable cookies1 = Enable cookies for the originating web site only3 = Enable cookies based on privacy settings (default)0 = Enable all cookies<a class="user" href="http://www.mozilla.org/quality/networking/docs/netprefs.html">http://www.mozilla.org/quality/networking/docs/netprefs.html</a>I let a handful of sites that I trust like banks and sites like digg that I want my login to stick save their cookies. Then I disallow everyone else. Been blocking javascript unless necessary for quite a while as well. I don't really need Amazon or whoever to track what stuff I've seen on their site.

Madman... Perhaps. Or maybe they just don't like being"tracked". Like some kind of animal. ...I mean, what's the ultimate purpose of "tracking"? To build a "profile" and then feed you mostly bulls**t about that profile, in order for you to exchange your goods/services, for their good/services. (What the method of exchange, cash, check, electronic or barter.) It's a highly sophisticated effort noways, and yet however admirable in that blinded effort, is doomed to fail. Eventually people get tired of coercion (in one form or another) and they rebel. In other words, "Leave me alone. If I want some thing, I know where to go and get it. I don't need to be told 24/7 what to want, say and do." ...[sigh] I guess it's up to "trackers" to decide if it's ethical or not though. But somehow I don't think that particular sympathy leads the way these days. Ethics? What the hell is that stuff? ...Perhaps it will come back in vogue though.
