Can I make certain cookies permanent so I can select 'delete all cookies' and these would stay and all others would be deleted?

I only see two options to deleting cookies in Firefox 26.0: 1) you have to go through and individually select which to delete. Time consuming. Sometimes you are not certain from the name if the cookie is a keeper or one to be deleted. 2) delete them all. Then you are re-entering account numbers and passwords for all those online utilities, banking etc.. that you use frequently.

Is there a way to 'permanently protect' cookies you do not wish to delete. In that way you can use the 'delete all' function to get rid of the others and preserve the ones you want?

hello firefoxuser18, though this isn't a direct answer to your request, but in the privacy options you can set firefox to save cookies only for the current session and create exceptions for sites which cookies should be retained longer. then you won't have to care to delete cookies anymore since this happens automatically at the end of each browser session, except for the sites you've specified, so you will get a similar effect...

When you delete all cookies then you can't have exceptions to keep specific cookies as all cookies will be removed.
The only way to achieve this is to let cookies expire when you close Firefox and create an allow exception for cookies the you want to keep.

Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.

There are also extensions that allow more precise cookie management, but only within the extension.

Thank you both for replying. I will give this option a try.
