Reintroduce cookie prompting #203

Open juneyourtech opened 6 years ago

juneyourtech commented 6 years ago

Since Firefox 44.0, cookie prompting has been removed. It would be great, if cookie prompting were reintroduced.

One developer has been maintaining a Firefox cookie prompt patch here: https://www.savarese.org/patches/firefox.html — Though he does not know for how long the upstream code will support it going forward.

… even though there are patches they never applied properly as the function didn’t actually do what it was supposed to. I’ll see if I can get back to it.
