"Remember me" problems

FYI: Deleting cookies in Firefox can result in blocking cookies for that site.

From what I can tell that feature has been gone since V2.0 or perhaps earlier. I thought it was a useful feature as well.

Huh? I use it all the time. But your post irritated me, so I googled. It seems that several functions concerning cookies have changed but you can still block cookies for specific sites if you use the cookie manager.
In the Options or preferences menu, privacy tab, show cookies. If you delete one from the list and check the box "block in the future" it should work. Sorry, I've translated this on the fly without even having Firefox installed on this machine.

This doesn't work for me and I'm using the latest versions both for Linux and Windows. When I delete a cookie it just vanishes instantly and doesn't get added to the exceptions list. The only way I can block a cookie is to add it manually. Previous to this in older versions I would always periodically check for adware and spyware cookies and delete them, this would also blook them as I'd have the option checked to do this.

-Edit: Just tested this by deleting the .org cookies and then reloaded the page, logged out, logged back in and is ok. Checked exceptions and isn't listed and checked in show cookies and the .org's cookies are set again. So it definitely doesn't seem to work. I've been through the options and have found nothing. The next stage is to have a look in about:config to see if there's anything in there, but I doubt it somehow.

This is how it works for me:
Options/Privacy/Show Cookies ->delete cookie (no options available here)
open Options/Privacy/Exceptions -> find the deleted cookie in the blocklist

This Firefox 2.0.0.11 on WinXP SP2. I haven't done anything in about:config for the last 3-4 updates.

Will "click remember me" continue so long as I'm demoted?

I had to delete cookies, browsing history, etc. several times to get "Remember me" out of the way.

I do not know Boyar Son,

It shouldn't, it's not supposed to be like that. Does it still happen?

Try again as you aren't Demoted anymore.
