Cool your jets. That thread not only discusses the issue, but also provides links to the bug report(s) regarding the issue. If you recall, you actually commented on the thread - BeeNeR did not, and may have actually found the information in the thread helpful. For those too lazy to look up & read the thread, here are the bug reports referenced: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362908 [Missing option to restrict third-party cookies] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349680#c13 ["Allow sites to set cookies for the original site only" missing from cookie preferences] and that last is marked as a duplicate of: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421494 [reimplement third party cookie blocking] Status: RESOLVED FIXED And no, I've no idea why it is marked as such. So rather than getting pissed off at me because I referred BeeNeR to the thread, feel free to review the bug(s) and figure out a solution if you are capable of doing so. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
