Description
Would be great to remove all cookies frequently if trustworthy cookies are easily protected, but it isn't helpful if the "Cookie Protections..." wizard always shows them as "false".
I can open up "Cookie Protections...", set useful cookie protection to "true", then leave the wizard. If I immediately open it again, it will have forgotten which cookies I cared to protect - making this feature close to useless.
Unlike #10824 I unselected Torbutton's own "Don't record history…" switch in Privacy Settings (I don't need to distrust my own computer or fear law enforcement). Have not checked what happens if I flick that switch since in that case I would expect it to indeed not persist the choice of cookies.
I am using TBB 5.0.7 from the gentoo torbrowser overlay. install.rdf from torbutton xpi says I am using 1.9.3.7.
Thanks in advance for looking into this, Mike. Was great meeting you in Berlin!
