[RFE] Warn before accepting a cookie is nearly useless

Details
The current prompt ("accept the cookie?") no longer has information pertaining
to what the cookie actually is. Certain sites may have tracking cookies that
are not wanted but still have date/time cookies to show the relative newness of
information on the site. The current behavior doesn't allow a judgement on the
value of the cookie and it little better than simply turning them off.
The Internet Explorer behavior (pushing the >> button for the information on
each window) is annoying, but far ahead of current Mozilla. Netscape 4.x has
the best behavior so far, giving the entire data of the cookie. The only
recommendation I could give there is to possible word-wrap long cookies. Then
the cookie information would be much better.
