Hey Folks,
I am trying to get a few sites to allow cookies (for auto log on) such
as Linked In and FaceBook and a few others but "Allow Cookies From this
website" seems to work only until I close and reopen the browser. When I
come back it returns to "use default cookie permissions"
I have my default cookie behavior set to:
"Accept for current session only" and "Allow Cookies for the originating
website only".
I tried making these more lenient with no luck.
It seemed to all work correctly in 2.40 but not in 2.46, but I also
cleared a lot of old cookies due to the data manager issues so I am not
sure which caused the issue.
Thanx

1. Set your home page to either about:blank or someother local
(non-Internet) page.
2. Check all cookies to make sure that you have only the ones you want.
Delete all the others.
3. Change your permissions to allow all cookies and to accept cookies
normally.
4. Visit ONLY those Web sites from which you want cookies saved.
5. Terminate all instances of SeaMonkey.
6. Re-launch SeaMonkey. DO NOT VISIT ANY WEB SITE.
7. Repeat step #2.
8. On the menu bar, select [Help > Troubleshooting Information]. Under
"Application Basics ", select the "Show Button" to the right of "Profile
Folder".
9. Terminate all instances of SeaMonkey.
10. In the profile folder launched in step #8, find the file named
cookies.sqlite. Get its profile and mark it read-only.
You can then undo steps #1 anbd #3. Other Web sites might think they
are setting cookies, but no cookies will be saved. On the other hand,
the cookies that you did save in step #4 will remain saved.
You should check your truly saved cookies about once a month to make
sure none have expired. You might have to repeat these steps to remove
expired cookies and capture their replacements.
Step #2 and thus step #7 can be vastly facilitated if you install the
PrefBar extension from
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/prefbar/> and then
install the Permissions Menu from
<http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#permissionsmenu> into PrefBar.
Thanx. I basically did this except rather than make the file read only I
changed the settings on the 2nd launch back to my default. That didn't
work. I didn't have to do that before 2.46 for this to work so I think
there is something else wrong.
The fact is I think that Allow Cookies for this website got broken in
2.46 as before that release all I had to do was click Allow Cookies for
this web site and it worked fine. Now it does not seem to retain that
setting when I come back as it did before.
It could be that the permissions file in the profile is corrupted. You
could try moving it out of there, redo the permissions and see if they
stay then. If that does not help, then you can put the permissions file
back again.
