The "use every time" check box refers to the "cookie permission rule" and not to the cookie itself. When you have cookie expiration set to "ask for each cookie", a prompt box appears every time a site tries to set a cookie. There are three buttons to choose from. 1. allow 2. allow for session 3. block There is also a check box "use my choice for all cookies from this site" If you check the "use my choice for all cookies from this site" check box, a rule is created in the data manager under the domain that attempted to set the cookie. If you select "allow" and "use for all", you will never get asked again. Every time you go to that site, the rule is applied instead of prompting you for what to do. If you look in your cookie manager, you will find hundreds of rules for domains. Most of these are set to block a site from setting cookies. It is these rules that seem to be Disappearing. If I close SM and open it again, when I open my browser I find no cookie rule for the google domain what so ever. There is a "never save" passwords rule, but nothing for cookies. If I go to google and select "allow for session" and "use for all", there will be an entry in the cookie manager showing this rule. If I close SM and open again, the rule is gone and I have to manually set the cookie permissions for google again. This is absolutely new behavior. I have been using SM since it was mozilla, and ever since session cookies were introduced, I have been doing things more or less the same way. Even if I manually add a rule in the data manager, it is not there after I close and reopen SM. It is the cookies that expire at the end of the session, not the rules you create for cookie permissions. LMH
LMH, the only thing (to me) then is that your changes are not being saved!! Could you check to see if some file in your set-up/profile is set to "Read Only"?? Maybe Prefs.js or thereabouts!!
