| This is probably a little different from most cookie-related problems. I
_want_ certain cookies on my computer (log-in purposes, etc.) yet Firefox
keeps deleting them.
I have checked the "protect" option many times in the "Cookie Culler"
extension, I went to tools > options > privacy and checked all options
that should allow the particular cookies I want to keep to remain. I typed
the specific names in the box to keep them, I checked all the boxes
presented and have done everything I can find to prevent these certin
cookies from getting removed. They keep getting removed...
I can log off, log back on and sometimes they remain. Other times I log
off and when I go back on, my cookies are gone. It's quite annoying. Any
ideas how I can protect these cookies?
Thanks for any help,
Robert

In the tools > options > privacy > cookies menu I have "accept cookies"
checked and "keep until they expire" checked so I figure that was a good
start. The "good" cookies show 'allow' and the ones I don't want show
'blocked'. Some others are 'allow for session only' but this seemed like a
good start and the right settings.
Then I went to the Cookie Culler extension and made sure the cookies I
wanted to keep were marked "protect" and this is where (I think) the
problem lies. I check Cookie Culler and sometimes the cookies are still
protected and other times they have changed to 'unprotect'.
I am not sure which of the cookie-related options (tools menu or Cookie
Culler extension) is the one that has the most to do with controlling
protecting/unprotecting cookies but I have used Cookie Culler for some
time and this problem has only just recently become a problem.
Could it be FF ver 1.0.7 that is to blame? Seems the cookie problem wasn't
a problem before I installed the newest (?) version of FF.
I am going to uninstall Cookie Culler and see if that makes a difference
but would be curious to know if the extension I've used for a while or the
newer version of FF is the culprit...
Thanks for any help,
Robert
