Firefox Version 43.0.1 allows me to control cookies EXACTLY as the mozilla help page shows. But your new version removed the "use custom settings for history" line. In what newer version of firefox will you again include this cookie control feature? My email is <somename>@yahoo.com

This feature had been removed because it was not maintained and buggy.
You can look at this extension or search the Add-ons website.

The "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history" option is still present in Firefox 53. However, there was a change in which options are available for cookie "lifetime". Were you previously using "ask me every time"?
To more closely manage cookies in today's Firefox, here's what I suggest:
(1) On the Options page, Privacy panel, select a default cookie policy among these options:
- Allow sites to set persistent cookies if they want ("Keep until: they expire")
- Allow sites to set only session cookies ("Keep until: I close Firefox") (I use and recommend this)
- Block sites from setting cookies (Uncheck the box for allowing sites to set cookies)
Note: to reveal specific privacy settings, choose "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
(2) Install an extension that makes it easy to make site-specific changes, such as Cookie Monster.
The Cookie Monster button on the toolbar allows you to see permissions for first party and third party cookies and to change them.

Sample screen shot attached -- the option to "Apply cookie settings to both HTTP and HTTPS" is turned on, which streamlines the menu. With this option you don't have to set/modify permissions for both HTTP or HTTPS on the same site.
Alternately, some users prefer the Self-Destructing Cookies extension, which quietly sweeps away cookies when you close all tabs to a site. I haven't tried that one myself.

As a Vista user the most up to date Firefox version for you will be Fx52.n ESR
