Currently the cookies.txt file gets deleted when you disable your cookies. An end-user has asked that we not delete the file. Here is the quote: "Sometimes we want to stop netscape from receiving NEW cookies temporarily but we want to keep the cookies that we already have. This is REALLY annoying to have to go and undelete the cookies.txt file from the hard drive."

I have a problem understanding this report. We certainly don't delete the cookie file when cookies are disabled, at least not intentionally. So we would need to test to see if this file is getting deleted by accident. But there is no way to test this out since the preferences are not yet implemented in seamonkey. So that makes me wonder how the user who reported this ever disabled his cookies. I can only conclude that the user must have been confused and that this bug report is invalid. Closing it out as such. If I'm mistaken and someone actually has a test whereby they can demonstrate this bug, please re-open this report and include the test.

this was filed as a bug in 4.5 code, and I transferred it over to bugzilla so the same thing would not happen with the 5.0 codebase. So, no it hasn't been confirmed with apprunner yet, but was put in as a placeholder with the assumption that the bug would 'carry over' to the 5.0 code. So I will re-open the bug, and assign it to me to check when the proper functionality is available, and then assign to you if it still happens...
