Comment 11 for bug 473677

Well, CNN video now plays with my third-party cookies turned off, or with the lifetime set to "Ask every time" and me selecting "For session". However, given that this bug is 3 years old, that could be due to changes on CNN.com

But, I can still get the error if I do something that tries to set a cookie from javascript while the "Ask every time" setting is on (lifetimePolicy = 1).

Couple of examples after clearing out all of my cnn.com cookies and loading http://edition.cnn.com:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Security error" code: "1000" nsresult: "0x805303e8 (NS_ERROR_DOM_SECURITY_ERR)" location: "http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/js/3.0/StorageManager.js?20100728 Line: 345"]

This is line 345 of that js:
                return (window.localStorage && (window.localStorage!=null));

The page then prompts me if I want it to make the International Edition my default. If I press Yes or No, I get a similar error:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Security error" code: "1000" nsresult: "0x805303e8 (NS_ERROR_DOM_SECURITY_ERR)" location: "http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/js/3.0/s_code.intl.js Line: 521"]

The cookie that stores the default edition is set, but the prompt to make a selection does not go away. s_code.intl.js (or s_code.js on the US site) is Omniture, and there's no telling from their mangled javascript what that's trying to do, but I don't see a reference to localStorage anywhere in that javascript.

I've tried several times back and forth and have confirmed that the above errors only happen when I have the cookie lifetime policy set to '1' (Ask me every time).
