I am having trouble with website amch.questionmarket.com installing cookies in my browser when I visit certain sites. It is tied to popup windows that appear when I submit entries to sweepstakes, in this case on HGTV. Once installed, these cookies interrupt the completion of the submission. Does anyone know a way to block the cookies from a specific website, or can Mozilla develop such a function?

The Block websites from storing cookies and site data in Firefox article has information on this. In addition, there are a plethora of extensions you can download for easier control of your cookies.

Blocking certain cookies may cause websites to malfunction, so please keep this in mind.

Thanks for the response, but I did not find a solution that exactly matches my need. There are many ways to manage cookies after-the-fact, but I am looking for a way to block cookies ONLY from one or more specific, individual websites, without interfering with any other websites. Although there are sites that drive me nuts with their cookies, there are also sites that use cookies to make my use of their site much more convenient, so I do NOT want to block cookies from ALL sites, but I DO want to block cookies from some sites BEFORE they are deposited, because some of them cause problems immediately, so deleting them afterward is very little help.
