Why is there no option to "ask me" when a site wants to place a cookie? That is, instead of ALLOWING all cookies unless I have preemptively blocked the site, why doesn't it ask me for permission like older versions?

I seem to recall, in older versions of FF, I could allow cookies, block cookies or have FF ask me if I wanted to allow a cookie each time a site tried to place one. This meant that I could allow certain cookies from, let's say Yahoo!, while disallowing other cookies from Yahoo!. I found this to be a very useful feature, and I would like to have it back.
