I am using version 2.46.
There are many websites that will not work for me unless I set cookies
to "allow all cookies".
Prior the the most recent version(s), which no longer have the option to
ask, I could use almost every website by setting my cookies to "Block
cookies" and "Ask for each cookie".
Not being able to ask for each cookie is a horrible flaw in the software.
Several times, I have cleared all my cookies, allowed all cookies, gone
to a site that was requiring cookies, looked at which cookies I had, and
enabling each of those sites to accept cookies. If the site was not
already on my permissions list, I would go to the site, and use the
Cookie Manager menu option under Tools to allow cookies from the site.
This does not seem to ever work in this latest version.
As I see it, there are two possibilities. One is that SeaMonkey does not
handle cookie permissions properly any more. The other is that an
enormous number of web sites is somehow programming their pages to work
only when ALL cookies are enabled, and not just when cookies for their
site are enabled. I don't even know if the latter is possible
programatically, but it seems very unlikely that it would happen just
when SeaMonkey stopped allowing the option to ask about each cookie.
I do not want to allow all cookies all the time. I have setup files for
SeaMonkey 2.39 and many prior versions.
Should I downgrade to one of these versions to get back the option to
ask for each cookie?
Are there any plans to fix this major flaw in SeaMonkey in future versions?
I love the SeaMonkey interface and the way the settings used to work
before this change, but, if I cannot fix this problem, I may stop using
SeaMonkey.
Please advise me.
Jeff
