I love the private browsing feature, but certain websites require me to turn on cookies. How can I only allow cookies for a limited number of websites (eg. facebook), but block cookies from the 99% of the websites I visit and still be use private browsing.

It seems as though there should be an option to "Accept cookies from only these websites" list that the user can maintain, as I can't figure out any other way to accomplish this.

Cookies work the same in Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history as in normal mode, only all cookies expire if you end PB mode and you do not keep any new cookies permanently. You can set exceptions to site where to keep cookies. Exceptions are kept outside PB mode, unless you remove them yourself (Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox, Site Preferences).

  • You can see the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
  • You can see all cookies exceptions in Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies > Exceptions
