Why has Options been changed to a tabbed page? In the old privacy settings, you could copy an cookie site and paste it into the Exceptions page having both open at the same time. Now you have to copy it, close the cookies tab, open the exceptions tab, paste it, close the exceptions tab and then re-open the cookies tab to do the next one. A complete pain and a huge backwards step. Why can't we just right-click the cookie site and select "Block" from a popup menu?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Hi, you can go back to the old version if you wish: Type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to browser.preferences.inContent and double click to change 'Value' from True to False, taking care not to alter anything else.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Thanks, Scribe_UK, that config change does the trick!

It would still be helpful if there was an easier way to block a site from setting cookies directly from the cookies list itself, though :)
