How to explicitly allow cookies for all livejournal.com domains in Firefox?
Date: 11/09/07
(Mozilla) Keywords: no keywords
Update 2: Ahh shit, apparently wildcards don't work?!? For some reason, it allows me to enter a "*" (and domain names can only contain, by design, 0-9, a-z, and _ or - so its not like * or any other character will ever be in a domain name) but, refuses to interpret it! So it looks like blocking cookies from ads.* won't work. That, um, really sucks. At least it is honoring the top-level domain thing tho.
Update: Nevermind, I found it.. its just that the box to type it in is a really dim grey outline at the top of the popup window and I'm still not used to using a Mac in the first place, LOL...
Seriously, the bottom of the textbox is literally invisible due to the intersection of a white background in firefox (instead of brushed metal I guess). With no brushed metal, what I get is a partly outlined white-textbox on a white background, with no bottom, to enter URLs in! LOL. Fucking mac!
Any dentists around that can give a Firefox some brushed metal fillings?

How do I tell Firefox that livejournal.com domains are allowed to set cookies?
Since livejournal.com unfortunately jumps straight to www.livejournal.com, I never get a chance to be asked if I want to allow domain cookies, so my only options currently appear to be "Let anyone lay down tracking cookies whenever they want", "Break all compatibility with anything that needs a login", or "Pester me each and every time I visit a different journal".
Crap like esomniture, which has a scheme that uses unlimited subdomains in a pathetic attempt to bypass /etc/hosts blocking, that I can just adblock or create fake DNS entries for to get rid of it entirely. Obviously thats not the case with LJ...
