In SeaMonkey, you cannot reach Cookie Manager from the Tools menu. On the menu bar, select [Edit > Preferences]. Then on left side of the Preferences window, select [Privacy & Security > Cookies]. There, you can set general rules for accepting or rejecting cookies. For the cookie rule for specific Web sites, select [Tools > Data Manager] on the menu bar. Ignore the request (if any) for your master password. On the left side of the Data Manager window, you will see "All data types" in a selection list. Select the button on the right with the down-pointing triangle and then select "Permissions" (not "Cookies"). Then in the Domain list, select the domain for the Web site. In the larger area under the Permissions tab, a cookies rule for the site will appear under the heading "Set Cookies"; at the far right of that area will be radio buttons showing the site's cookie rule (Allow, Allow for Session, or Block). Frankly, I much preferred the old Cookie Manager. I can still get it via the PrefBar extension. -- David E. Ross I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can be used when autocomplete=off.
