Hello List, A lot of time ago I bugzilled a proposal for cookies,
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172812 Well as I understand, most of you must be accepting cookies by default ;) otherwise you would also be very annoyed by the countless clicks on "allow" or "deny". I am one of those people who tend to deny most cookies, and accept only those from sites I need a service from - or those where I have logins, of course. The option "expire cookies at end of session" is a nice idea (which is settable thru network.cookies.lifetimePolicy i think), but nowadays Camino is so stable, that a session might keep on going for days or even weeks. What I would like to have is an option to "accept cookies until window or tab is closed", (optionally, the session to expire when the window is closed). A setting like this would be very nice, as it would allow for full site functionality, but still preserving privacy, as the user will be getting a new cookie after closing the tab or window. Also, it would be nice to have something like what I posted in bugzilla, i.e. a button on the toolbar, to change cookies on the fly for the site being surfed in the current window. I imagine something like this: { sexy cookie button on toolbar } <-- click --- Sheet --- Change cookie settings for domain xxxx.yyy.yy - Radio buttons:- [ ] expire when closing [ ] expire when quitting [ ] let site decide - Buttons - [reload current page with new settings] [reload root page] [do not reload] --- /Sheet --- The radios choice and the default button should be dynamically set depending on current settings. Just one of the countless possible enhancement ideas... I know there _are_ issues with such an idea: for example the cookie button should get a different color depending on the current setting for the current site, so that the user is aware of what is going on with cookies... Any opinions? keep it up, Camino just rocks... :) Lorenzo _______________________________________________ Camino mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/camino
