Firefox implements RFC2965 correctly though. As I looked into our 
implementation of privacy in cookie handling, it seems lacking severly in 
some cases. This needs to be improved anyway, just that silently accepting 
cookies makes us a slightly bit more vulnerable.

Perhaps we should have an option in the status bar that allows the cookie 
dialog to pop up on demand, rather than blocking and waiting for user input. 
Then you would be able to turn session-cookies into persistent cookies if you 
like.
