Google-Cookies are not deleted completely

[MozillaBugCreator]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I delete every day all my cockies with 'Delete private data (cockies) when firefox is closed'. It seems that Google cockies are deleted
if they are files, but not if they are again folders (containing again cockie files).
The following day google is able to recognize my (last chosen) language (I choose a very exotic language), so it happens not by
chance.

I have placed .google.com and google.com on the 'exceptions' > block preference cookies list.

It doesn't make any difference!!! I still need to check and delete the google cookie several times during any Firefox session.

Please make it stop.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I've gotten so used to the problem, I've not attempted to communicate again. For a long time after I installed Ubuntu 8.10, I was very careful and did not once OK a google cookie. It is happening again, though. What seems to trigger it is that I OK acceptance of a Google cookie just once. Thereafter, it re-establishes itself without invitation.

I am using the latest version of Firefox. I have placed .google.com and google.com on the 'exceptions' > block preference cookies list, again, and it will not block the google 'infestation'.

Reporter states this is still an issue. I am unable to reproduce. Can someone please try to confirm this. Looking upstream would be helpful as well as this is not a Ubuntu package problem but a problem in firefox itself

[Sethra (42margaret-clearwire)]

Found the problem. I accidentally OKd accepting the 'trusted client' cookie. It's not listed as google.com, so I missed it in the 'exceptions' dialogue box.

Thank you for all your efforts on my behalf. I'm still just learning.
