Public bug reported:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10
$ apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
Installed: 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.10.1
Candidate: 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.10.1
Version table:
*** 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.10.1 0

Expected behavior:
Firefox should remember the cookie exceptions I've set in versions of
Firefox prior to 17.0. It should also store changes I make to
exceptions.
Actual behavior:
Firefox ignore cookie exceptions. It also no longer records them.
Workaround: Most users will want to stay on 16.0 until Mozilla fixes
this bug. The thread referred to below contains workarounds that require
dumping and manipulating an sqlite database.
