How to Enable Cookies on Firefox 3.6
Web servers send cookies to your computer to keep track of the websites you visit and store any preferences you set or passwords you use. For example, if you instruct a website to display a stock ticker every time you visit it your computer will store this information on a cookie. The Firefox 3.6 browser automatically accepts all cookies. If you had previously disabled cookies, use your options menu to enable them again. Firefox also allows you to specify how long you wish to store your cookies.
