Enhance "Remove Cookies" Functionality

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice to have a setting that disables the confirmation on
"Remove Cookies".

Also, a shortcut key for "Remove Cookies" would be handy.

When testing, I often need to clear cookies to reset our site to a "not
logged in" state. Adding one or both of these features would make it faster
to remove cookies, as I could configure Firecookie to not prompt me to
confirm the delete when I press the shortcut key.

This is not a defect, but I don't see a way to change the Type to Enhancement.

Thanks for the report!

Changed to Enhancement.

> Also, a shortcut key for "Remove Cookies" would be handy.
So, if I understand correctly the shortcut would duplicate the "Remove Cookies"
action (removing all cookies that are currently displayed in the list). Is that 
correct?

I think that the dialog saying "Do you want to remove all cookies in the list?" 
could
also offer a checkbox saying "Do not show this message again" (unchecked by 
default).
Checking the box would set the proposed option (stored in preferences) and 
caused
that the confirmation dialog is not displayed the next time.

The dialog could also offer a link that would navigate the user to the place 
where
the option can be reset back (to show the confirmation dialog again). This 
"Confirm
deleting cookies" dialog option would be available in the Cookies panel under 
the
mini-tab menu (next to the Cookies label) showing e.g. Enable, Disable options.

Would this work for you?

Yes, that's right.

That would work just fine. It doesn't matter to me how the feature is 
implemented; 
use the UI pattern you like best! It could even be a hidden about:config option 
as 
far as I'm concerned. :-)

Thank you!

Yes, this remove cookies functionality with no prompt works great. Were you 
able to add some sort of a keyboard shortcut for this?

Ah, I missed this one.

- The "Remove All Cookies" key binding is Ctrl+Shift+O
- Use "Customize Shortcuts" dialog to change (available in Firebug menu)

Very nice; the "Remove All Cookies" keyboard shortcut works and can be changed 
via "Customize Shortcuts". This will save me a lot of time during testing.

Thanks,
Matthew
